Brown Banded Cockroach (Ootheca/Egg Case)

Warm, dry locations inside buildings, often in high cabinets, behind pictures, or in furniture electronics.

Omnivorous scavengers feeding on starch-heavy materials like book bindings, wallpaper paste, and food scraps.

Nocturnal and elusive; females glue their egg cases (oothecae) to hidden vertical or protected surfaces rather than carrying them.

Structural pest that can trigger allergies or asthma; they can mechanically transmit pathogens but do not bite or sting.
