it was nice to finally find an adult Ectobius that wasn't feeling slippery, the nymphs are cute but the adults' wings really steal the show. unfortunately i couldn't get a frontal or even lateral shot to display the classic sad roach face but you can't ask for too much in life

Found some dusky cockroach while investigating foliage in Cheticamp today. Exciting! #nature #insects #cockroaches #Ectobius #Ectobiidae #CapeBretonHighlands #ParksCanada #Dictyoptera (at Parc national des Hautes-Terres-du-Cap-Breton)
Bug of the Day
Ok, here you go, the THREE PEOPLE who think roaches are cool ;-).
This is a Dusky Cockroach, Ectobius lapponicus, that I found on the side of my house earlier this summer. Looked a bit too much like a house-infesting German cockroach for my liking - feh - but it turned out to be a European introduction we see now in the northeastern US and Canada.
