I was hoping to shoot the female Turkestan cockroach with the eggcase still attached to her body, but they became separated immediately after capture and before I could grab my camera.
Found outdoors. These cockroaches are extremely abundant in water valve boxes, outdoors, and outside the house. Very few dare or are able to come inside the house.
