bayucca can identify your shoelaces at 50 paces. :-) Should be 'Drymaplaneta cf. semivitta' ? http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:biodiversity.org.au:afd.taxon:4084ab92-7a98-420a-a1da-fbb5b970006d

Thanks a lot bayucca, I love this website

Blattodea, Blattidae, Polyzosteriinae, Methanini, Drymaplaneta sp. and looks like being Drymaplaneta semivittata. Other candidate would be Drymaplaneta communis. https://www.flickr.com/photos/georgenovak/5287631578/ http://www.sanguefreddo.net/showthread.php/14834-Drymaplaneta-semivitta http://naturewatch.org.nz/observations/378502 http://cockroach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Drymaplaneta_semivitta_Gisborne_Cockroach.jpg http://www.padil.gov.au/pests-and-diseases/pest/main/136550/14861 Maybe Stephen can help more...
