Tawny Cockroach (or Spotted Mediterranean Cockroach)

Commonly found outdoors in leaf litter, low shrubs, and gardens; occasionally enters homes accidentally.

Omnivorous; primarily feeds on decomposing organic matter such as leaves and plant debris.

Active during the day, unlike many indoor pest cockroaches. They are strong fliers and are attracted to lights at night.

Generally considered a harmless accidental invader; they do not typically infest or breed indoors and provide ecosystem benefits through decomposition.
