Best Answer

The adult American cockroach is reddish-brown. It has a pale yellow border around the shield that covers the insect's head. The yellow border is easy to see, even at a distance. It makes the American cockroach easy to identify. This cockroach is a fairly good flier and a very fast runner.

The Florida Palmetto roach also known as a woods cockroach is also a large cockroach. Its body is wide and fairly flat. Florida woods cockroaches are such a dark reddish-brown that they often look black in color. Adult Florida woods cockroaches do not have fully developed wings, so they cannot fly. Since it cannot fly, it must walk to get into houses. It usually does not survive indoors.
