Australian Cockroach

The adult Australian cockroach is a tropical and subtropical scavenger often found in gardens, greenhouses, leaf litter, and humid structures. It is nocturnal, feeding on decaying vegetation, starchy material, and other organic debris. Adults run quickly and can make short flights, and they are recognizable by pale yellow markings along the front of the wings and thorax.
