Periplaneta americana
This is a common American Cockroach that I found inside my house. It has just shed its skin (it not an albino cockroach). But, it is rare to seen one. The size of this cockroach is approximately 25 - 30 mm.
- They generally live in moist areas. It can be found outdoor, and inside the house.
- This cockroach is from the family Blattidae. This is one of the common pest cockroach that can be found worldwide.
