Pale-bordered Field Cockroach (Pseudomops septentrionalis), taken May 31, 2025, in Georgia, US

A very distinguished cockroach! I understand not liking pest cockroaches, but I don't know how anyone can hate all cockroaches when cuties like these exist! This spring is my first time seeing this species, and I'm already enamored. They're quite small and very agile, swiftly flying from leaf to leaf when they want to escape me. I saw one from afar for the first time and instantly recognized it from a camera product review example photo lol! Needless to say, I was on that individual in a heartbeat, silently begging it to stay still long enough for photos, which it kindly did. These pictures are my third time seeing one of these, and probably my best so far!

Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

Cockroaches are often blamed for spreading disease, but in reality they're about just as clean as people-- perhaps even cleaner! Studies have shown that the immune system of cockroaches-- in particular, their central nervous system and gut microbiome-- are extremely effective at eradicating diseases like E. coli and MRSA. In fact, the antiamoebic molecules that cockroaches produce are one of the triggers that cause people to develop asthma and allergic reactions to them.
