This cockroach came to pose in my hotel studio one day. I was about 20 km from China's border with Burma. According to what I found on line, this is an invasive species Blattellagermanica that reached China from Germany 20 years ago.

Fred noticed this native cockroach being stung by a wasp. The cockroach stopped still, arched its body as it is in the photo and sat there for some time. It looked like it was panting. After a few minutes, it stopped panting, straightened its body and ran off into the leaf litter. Desmozosteria flavaThanks for the ID David Rentz Photo: Jean
