Found this guy in my hotel room. Slow moving and peaceful. Gone when i got back in the evening. hope they didn’t exterminate.
Signature: curious
i found it!
on your site…looks like a cave cockroach.
it was very pretty.
Dear curious,
This is indeed a Cockroach, but it is not a Cave Cockroach. We may be wrong, but it looks more to us like an American Cockroach. According to BugGuide: ” They are significant pests throughout the world. They are not native to the Americas at all. They come from tropical Africa. They were probably transported to the Americas on slave ships.”
What's That Bug? does not endorse extermination
