The pale-bordered field roach is a timid species from the southern US. The nymphs are dull brown and resemble Parcoblatta. The adults are stunningly colored and visit flowers during the daytime. Their bright colors may make them resemble wasps or bombardier beetles to potential predators. The adults are fairly short lived but produce many offspring.
