Brown-banded cockroach (likely nymph)

Warm, dry indoor areas such as kitchens, cabinets, furniture, and wall voids; it is widespread in buildings worldwide.

An omnivorous scavenger that consumes crumbs, starches, grease, pet food, dead insects, and organic debris.

Mostly nocturnal, secretive, and fast-moving. Females glue egg cases to concealed surfaces; development commonly takes several months, depending on temperature.

It can contaminate food and surfaces and mechanically spread pathogens; shed skins and droppings may aggravate allergies and asthma. It has little meaningful ecological benefit indoors.
