yes.. its was powdery green and I didn't touch it. It didn't move. Possibly dead.

Thanks ForestDragon & Keithp2012.

Was it moving? If not I think it's dead with mold all over

Oh wow! acewings.ajay, this cockroach is not moulting but has been infected with a fungus. If it is not dead yet, it will be soon! Very, very interesting!
