Pennsylvania Wood Cockroach Nymph - Parcoblatta pennsylvanica This cockroach wasn&#039;t as fast as they usually are, perhaps because it was such a cold day. It did &quot;pee&quot; on me though, as you can see from the wet spot on my hand. I guess I deserve no less for handling it ;P<br /> <br /> Habitat: Under a rock in a rural, wooded yard Geotagged,Parcoblatta pensylvanica,Pennsylvania wood cockroach,Spring,United States,cockroach,cockroach nymph,nymph Click/tap to enlarge

This cockroach wasn't as fast as they usually are, perhaps because it was such a cold day. It did "pee" on me though, as you can see from the wet spot on my hand. I guess I deserve no less for handling it ;P

    Ah well. Our Colombian guide Manuel always tells people who are disgusted by cockroaches that they are far cleaner than people :)

    Personally, I don't like them on me though.     Posted 6 years ago

      I don't mind them. Actually, I think they are quite cute. Posted 6 years ago

        Based on past observations labeled "cute" by you, forgive me for not using that as a selection tool ;) Posted 6 years ago
