Cockroach - Parcoblatta pennsylvanica
Fontenelle Forest, Bellevue, Sarpy County, Nebraska, USA

We think this might be a female native wood cockroach. Can anyone help with ID?

Thanks,

Thanks, Alan, for your help. These cockroach IDs are really tricky and difficult for us.

Cockroach nymph
I suspect that it is an immature male Parcoblatta cockroach, based on the apparent wing buds seen and the look of the posterior abdomen. Immature wood cockroaches are poorly described and so it is hard to be certain of a species, or even the genus.
