German Cockroach (Blattella germanica)Observer
aistiDescription
Found floating in a glass of water that had been left out. Not 100% certain of id given the stage and the way the water tension made it stretch its body flat, but we've been dealing with a B. germanica infestation for several months and once I poured it out it hunched up and more closely resembled how I expect nymphs to look.
