Adult female - Parcoblatta virginica - Perry County, Pennsylvania, USA Size: 13 mm
Because these 6 were found in a group together, I think it is a good reason to assume them to be the same Sp.
This is what the adult female looks like. There were three females and three males. In case you may be wondering about further updates on ID of the males, it will not be happening. I made a critical mistake and all three males escaped into my house; despite many attempts at luring them out with lights and bait, I was not able to recover any of them
So we are left with the three females which, as adults, can apparently also walk on vertical surfaces like the adult males. Why is it that they cannot do this as nymphs? Anyway, I am hoping with a good view of the male and female that we can positively ID to species
