Wood cockroach

Parcoblatta sp.

Notes:

This is a native cockroach genus. According to BugGuide.net, there is not enough information in this photograph to identify this one as to species. The fact that the wings extend beyond the abdomen identify this individual as a male. Thanks to Mr. Goldfish for getting me to the correct genus.

Thanks, Mr. Goldfish. I think you're right, at least as to the genus. P. virginica looks a lot like this guy, too. I'll have to do some research and see what I can come up with. For now, I'm changing it to Parcoblatta sp.
