Dusky Cockroach

Found primarily outdoors in leaf litter, gardens, and meadows. Occasionally wanders indoors by accident.

Decomposing organic matter, including decaying leaves, wood, and plant remains.

Diurnal (active during the day), strong fliers (males), and non-infesting. They do not breed or survive well inside human homes.

No medical risk to humans; they do not carry diseases or bite. They are beneficial decomposers that help recycle nutrients in garden ecosystems.
