Field Notes

Description:

Large cockroach. This one was not moving very fast. The ones I've disturbed make quite a racket. Not something that helps them hide.

Habitat:

Not as prevalent here as in some other parts of the Island. They do sneak into the houses that are on ground level.

Notes:

This one needed some medical attention. I came upon it in this condition. It was in a busy path way. The hissing Cockroaches get all the attention, so it's harder to ID the others.
