What do Brown-Banded Cockroaches Look Like?

Adults

Brown-banded cockroaches are one of the smaller cockroaches with adults being only about ½ inch long. They also have the following characteristics:

  • These roaches are light to dark brown in color and the females are slightly shorter than the males.

  • Adult females have wings that cover only their thorax and part of their abdomen, while adult males have wings that cover their entire thorax and abdomen.

  • Both males and females have two light colored bands that run transversely from one side to the other across the base of the wings and the abdomen.

  • Wings are brownish, but are lighter colored along the margins of the wing.

  • The adult’s legs and underside of the body is yellow-brown colored.
