Roach - what type?
Zagreb, Croatia County
August 8, 2018
Size: cca 1.5 cm
It's very these days in Croatia. I found one of these little budies each day (for two days), during the night. One was on the kitchen wall, the other one was in my bedroom. My main concers is if this is an infesting type of roach.

First, this guide is only for North American arthropods...
Second, this appears to be an Ectobius species, they are an outdoor dwelling cockroach genus, that sometimes can be found in more urbanized areas. Most of them are not indoor pests and can't breed inside, but they are attracted to lights and often wander indoors by mistake, where they die of dehydration in a few days.

Unfortunately I don't know the European fauna that well, so I have no idea which Ectobius species this is, sorry!
