Cockroach (barata da terra)

Hormetica bicolor

Description:

Dictyoptera; Blattaria; Blaberidae; Blaberinae It is a brown cockroach, with yellowish stripes.

Habitat:

This cockroach lives in the ground and digs the soil to construct its own tunnel. It is a shy one, as we can see in the second pic. ^^

Notes:

I'm not sure if it is a nymph or an adult, because there are no wings in this species.

At least that's what I'm pretty sure it is, if you are saying the adults have no wings.
