I have struggled to find much on smaller Eastern European cockroaches though I do sometimes come across these when leading Botanical tours and they are often attracted to light at windows etc. This one though was found in the woods above Bansko in Bulgaria on 26 June 2013. Body length is 8mm. Any suggestions regarding identification would be very greatly appreciated. Many thanks Alan Alan Outen attached the following image:  [142.29Kb] |

I would say Ectobius sylvestris, many forms outthere, see these: http://agrozoo.ne...sylvestris check number 3 (7 mm body) for comparison with yours. (did not check no. 1 anywhere yet) Edited by BubikolRamios on 22-07-2013 13:07 highly searchable nature photo galery --> http://agrozoo.ne....jsp?l2=en |

Many thanks. I was concerned that the literature that I have that includes E. sylvestris also includes a number of related species that look superficially quite similar. Alan |
