Cockroach nymph (likely German or Brown-banded)

Warm, humid indoor environments such as kitchens, bathrooms, and laundry areas; often found near food and water sources.

Omnivorous scavengers; they eat almost anything including food scraps, grease, starch, glue, and organic decaying matter.

Nocturnal and highly photophobic; they hide in narrow cracks and crevices during the day. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (nymphs resemble smaller, wingless adults).

Risks: Major household pests that spread pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli), trigger allergies, and cause asthma. No significant benefits in human environments.
