NJ outdoor Spotted Mediterranean Cockroach - Ectobius pallidus

NJ outdoor Spotted Mediterranean Cockroach - Ectobius pallidus
Highland Park, Middlesex County, New Jersey, USA
August 26, 2015
Size: 11 mm
A new order for my yard at the buglight – and perhaps an interesting sighting, assuming I have the ID right. This would be the southernmost record on BugGuide. There is 1 previous NJ report, indoors last year in an office storage facility in N Arlington last year, & 1 report from last year from Queens, NY:
.
Yard has a few suburban trees & shrubs, a small patch of wildflower meadow, lots of English ivy ground cover, 1 small leaf mulch pile. If anybody is interested in a specimen, I could try putting the buglight out again.
