Brown-Banded Cockroach
Supella longipalpa
The adult lives mostly inside warm buildings, favoring dry sheltered spots such as ceilings, closets, electronics, and upper walls. It is a nocturnal scavenger that eats crumbs, paper products, glue, fabric residues, and other household organic matter. Males have full wings and may flutter or glide when disturbed, while females usually rely more on rapid running and hiding.
