Blattella asahinai, the Asian cockroach, is a species of cockroach that was first described in 1981 from insects collected on Okinawa Island, Japan.[1] It is a small species of cockroach, typically 1.3 to 1.6 centimetres (1⁄2 to 5⁄8 in) long and tan to dark brown in colour with dark parallel stripes on the back of their heads.[2] It is commonly mistaken for the German cockroach (B. germanica) due to their similar appearance. It is now commonly found in the United States in and around houses.
