Insect in my bathroom! - Blattella germanica
Los Angeles/90025, California, USA
September 5, 2008
Size: 4-5mm
So these guys started appearing in my bathroom three days ago. They have antennae and six legs. The front part of the body is not exactly translucent. It looks like there are three ridges. The back part is brownish and there are 5-6 ridges. The entire bug is about 4-5 mm long.
