About 5/8-inch long. Wings have two brownish-yellow bands. Brown-banded cockroaches are relatively small. Adults measure approximately ½” in length (males are slightly longer than females). Adults are light brown in color, with fully developed wings. Brown-banded cockroaches undergo three stages of development: egg, nymph and adult.
Nocturnal; can fly. They may be found throughout any structure, but prefer dry, warm areas, high locations and inside furniture.
