Pest Organisms / Smokybrown Cockroach
Lookalikes
UGA notes it can be taken for the American or Oriental cockroach, both large outdoor roaches with similar habits. What sets the smokybrown apart is its single, unbroken color from head shield to wing tips; UF treats the uniform tone behind the head as characteristic of the species, so a roach this large with no lighter band or margin points to the smokybrown.
