Cockroach nymph (young cockroach)

Warm, sheltered places indoors—especially kitchens, bathrooms, and cracks near food or moisture; some species live outdoors.

An opportunistic scavenger that eats crumbs, grease, organic debris, and other food residues.

Nymphs are wingless and resemble small adults; they hide by day and are most active at night. Cockroaches develop through successive molts, with egg cases producing multiple nymphs.

Indoor infestations can contaminate food and trigger allergies or asthma; they may also carry microbes. The image does not establish the species or confirm an infestation.
