Oriental Cockroach Nymph
Blatta orientalis (nymph)
A wingless juvenile found in dark, damp shelters such as basements, drains, cellars, and leaf litter near buildings. It feeds as a scavenger on decaying plant matter, crumbs, refuse, and other soft organic material. The nymph avoids light, slips into narrow cracks when disturbed, and molts several times before adulthood. Its flattened body and tough exoskeleton help it survive in tight crevices.
