Brown banded cockroach

Brown-banded cockroaches are glossy brown with two light bands of yellow or cream across the thorax and abdomen. The bands are quite noticeable on nymphs and females. Males have long wings which extend beyond the abdomen covering the light bands. Females have shorter wings exposing the abdomen, and nymphs are wingless. The adult male has a slender abdomen, while the female has a broader abdomen. The Brown-banded cockroach is similar in size to the German cockroach, which does not have pale bands across the back.
