User's notes

This striking cockroach is mostly tan and with lots of black features. It has a fine pale yellow-cream lace-like patterning on the wings which end in black at both the very rear-and very front ends. The top of the head and the entire outer edge of the pronotum are marked in a similar pale yellow-cream colour. On the pronotum this merges into a light brown at the inner most edge where it meets the all-black centre. The face, eyes and legs all appear black as does the first half of its remaining antenna, the rest of which is light brown. This is the same species cockroach as at sighting 4668825.
