(Length: 1 1/4″ – 1 1/2″) This is a large reddish brown to dark brown roach with yellow bars on the front edge of its forewing. They are good flyers, entering homes through windows, doors, soffits and gables, especially where moisture problems exist. They breed and live in moist decaying vegetation outdoors. They are another of the roaches referred to as “Palmetto Bugs”.
