Periplaneta australasiae
I keep forgetting to measure them. 25mm I think
It was in the house but is not the kind that infests homes. Probably just wandered in and was leaving when I came along
Looks like American Cockroach and may be. Periplaneta americana, Assist on the identification from Argy Bee

Duoh!! Outsmarted by a cockroach. :)
It was a toss up between an Aus or US cockroach but the nymph of the latter has less markings. Those were the options because nothing else of that nature lived in apartment
I think you are correct Argy. There is one that looks like an adult hiding in here somewhere but he/she has been too fast and too smart for me get a shot yet
looks like a nymph - like this one http://www.flickr.com/photos/63479603@N0...
