Asian Cockroach
Blattella asahinai
Asian cockroaches live in warm, humid outdoor habitats such as leaf litter, mulch, lawns, and gardens, especially in the southeastern United States where they have become established. They feed as scavengers on decaying plant matter and other organic debris, moving quickly through vegetation and hiding when disturbed. Unlike the closely related German cockroach, adults are strong fliers and are often attracted to lights at night. Their pale brown body and tough exoskeleton help them slip through cluttered ground cover and survive minor impacts.
