Comments (3)

Thank you very much for identifying this cockroach. I have never seen this species at a high elevetion. It's interesting that its common name is "Cloud Forest" cockroach. As for the spider, someone told me to delete the spotting from the Insect of Costa Rica Mission. Obviously, spiders are not insects. I was trying to delete it only from the Mission, but I couldn't. Therefore, I ended up deleteing the whole thing. I am very sorry for that since you spent time on the id.
