Surinam Roach, Front View - Pycnoscelus surinamensis - Female
Beverly Hills, Citrus County, Florida, USA
October 3, 2006
Size: Approx. 1 in.
This one didn't have the speed I usually see in roaches, as evidenced by the fact that I could actually coax this one into the open, flip it into a jar, and escort it out the door.
