Australian cockroach picture

House Cockroaches:
The Australian cockroach (Periplaneta australasiae Fab.). - Somewhat smaller and apparently broader than the last, and with the yellow band around the prothorax brighter, and a yellow streak on the costa of the forewing extending part way toward the tip.

It is particularly common in the Southern states.
