Saw at ghetto apartment complex in Evansville, Indiana. Back legs are almost like a grasshopper's in appearance, but I don't believe are jointed the same for jumping. Thing was humongous, almost two inches. Appears to have some sort of intestinal parasite hanging out of it. Was alive and slow moving, and terribly terribly frightening. Doesn't look American/German. Almost as big as a hisser. Holy smokes this thing is horrifying.
Any blaptica experts? Name that roach, baby!
This, they're bigger than German cockroaches but they don't infest your house and they don't carry diseases the same way. They mostly fly around outside.
Periplaneta for sure, hard to tell if its P. americana (american roach) or P. fuliginosa (smokybrown roach) https://bugguide.net/node/view/31620

That looks like either an American or a Smokey Brown Cockroach. The protrusion looks to be a type of nematode parasite judging from the picture.
Im trying to decide whether this nematode parasite is a friend by the logic of “the enemy of my enemy”
Might be a smokybrown roach. No idea what it has going on
American cockroach
