came to uv light. There were many flying around that looked superficially like this one, the only one I collected. I don't know for sure if this one flew.

Moved from Field Cockroach.

I highly doubt that this is B. vaga. They usually don't look slender as the specimen pictured above, and the pronotum marking matches with B. asahinai than B. vaga.

I missed this series when you initially posted it- thanks for bringing it to my attention. Texas is the meeting point for the Asian Cockroaches that are spreading westward along I-10 and the Field Cockroaches that are moving westward. Both are easily distinguished from German cockroaches by their ability to fly and reproduce outdoors. Nice images!

Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.
