Pseudomops septentrionalis
The attractive pale bordered field cockroach is an outdoor insect. This roach, less than 1 inch long, can often be seen in the garden, where they fly or climb about on vegetation as they scavenge for food.
Was on an Oakleaf Hydrangea
Cockroaches are one of the most ancient orders of insects, having evolved in the Carboniferous.

It's strange seeing a roach during the day on a flower for me, very nice species!
