User's notes

This yellow-brown small cockroach was not amenable to having its photo taken, flying off when a different angle was tried! Yellowy-brown body with a black rear tip, and a black pronotum surrounded by a broad edging of pale maize-yellow. The black antennae also appear to end in the same yellow-brown. A fine lace-like pattern is just discernible on the wings (photo 2). This cockroach is the same species as at sighting 4668820.
