Cockroach nymph (likely brown-banded cockroach)

Warm, dry indoor areas such as kitchens, cabinets, furniture, and wall voids; unlike many cockroaches, it does not require damp conditions.

Omnivorous scavengers feeding on crumbs, starches, grease, dead insects, glue, and organic debris.

Mostly nocturnal and fast-moving, hiding in narrow cracks during the day. Females attach egg cases to sheltered surfaces, and nymphs develop through several molts.

Can contaminate food and surfaces and may carry allergens that aggravate asthma. It provides limited ecosystem value indoors but serves as prey for predators outdoors.
