So you zoom in there, this is a nymph the reason why we know its a nymph its wings aren't fully developed, in fact you can't see wings in that at all right now it's fairly good size though it's a little confusing because it looks like this nymph looks like certain adults of other species this nymph actually resembles a little bit the adult of an oriental and also the adult of a Turkistan but if you look at this nymph it actually has horizontal lines on the back here which is a tell-tale sign of the American cockroach so this is the actual adult American cockroach fully grown and interestingly enough it again this is actually almost the same size of the nymph we just picked up a moment ago so it's not much bigger than the other one but, again you'll notice the wings on it on the American cockroach there are full wings they go pass the bottom of the roach and American roaches are a little darker in color then some of the other species that look similar to this again Turkistan roaches are found in Phoenix and they look very similar to this the females actually look different so a lot of times you'll see an adult male, a Turkistan roach that looks like this and a female which will look like an oriental roach that's how you identify the Turkistan this one we didn't find any female to resemble this so we are confident this an American roach problem here at this home in Phoenix.
