What kind of cockroach is this? - Chorisoneura texensis
Georgia, USA
April 11, 2018
Does anyone know what kind of cockroach this is? I found a live one in my car about 2 weeks ago, and then found this one today smashed by my car door.I'm scared it may be a german cockroach. I haven't seen any in my house. My boyfriend does use the car to deliver pizza, but no one has seen any at his work either. Could they be coming from the shrubs I park beside?

Appear to be
Subadult Chorisoneura texensis. It probably came from the shrubs nearby. It's a native species that won't infest your house.

Thank you
Thank you for your reply. I know it's not the best picture, but is there a certain way to tell it apart from a german cockroach nymph? I tried to look up Chorisoneura texensis behavior and habitat, but haven't had much luck finding a lot of info.

The cockroach specialists should be able to tell you what you've got.
