Dear Any,
These are Red Headed Cockroaches, Deropeltis erythrocephala, and we verified their identity on iNaturalist and iSpot. This is an outdoor species that will not infest your home and you have no need to be concerned regarding this sighting on your patio.
I don’t believe that they do not infest house or garden, I have so many in my garage and in the roof of my house, its bad
We have so many of these on our Patio and in garage. How do we get rid of them?
We do not provide extermination advice.
They breeding in my roof as well hence the search for what specie they are.
It’s 7:41 am I’m sitting here and trying to find out what bug this is so I know now but I just want to know, I was sleeping on the couch and a big one was in my hand. So I woke up an hour ago and saw it, I put it in my cigarette pack cause I didn’t find anything else anyway the thing marked me with black marks on my palm and I can’t get it off. Is it bad or what… Did I bite me or just shit on me and why can’t it come off
