black roach nymph - Pycnoscelus surinamensis
San Antonio, Bexar County, Texas, USA
June 1, 2016
Size: ~1 cm
I found this small roach nymph among the leaf litter and thought it was an Arenivaga bolliana nymph but it seems too narrow and is even darker than the A. bolliana nymphs I've found AND it can climb glass! Most of the roach, except its back end, were shiny black, which gives my phone the most difficulty.
