Pycnoscelus surinamensis - Female
Orlando, Orange County, Florida, USA
December 7, 2019
Size: 12mm
More Info

Looks most like the Florida Woods Cockroach, but it seems very small compared to most other submissions of that species, also the antennae are quite short. This may be a juvenile but I have seen these before and I have always seen them around this size. Wanted to verify ID for this individual before posting it there.
