Smokybrown cockroach nymph

Found outdoors in moist, warm areas, mulch beds, and tree hollows, occasionally invading homes seeking moisture.

Omnivorous scavengers feeding on decaying organic matter, plant material, and starches.

Nocturnal and highly attracted to light sources; nymphs are agile runners and undergo gradual metamorphosis.

Potential household pests that can contaminate food and trigger allergies, but they play a beneficial role in nutrient recycling outdoors.
