hi,I'm korean boy who likes cockroach.
first,sorry of my english ability.

picture is not mine.
snapper of this photo said,
"it takes from Guatemala,i saw this white roach and another green roach."
i don't know this roach's name.
what is it?

PS:I suppose the green roach would be Panchola nivea,right?

That pic is so over the top bright not even the Ministry of Darkness could (in fact) help you here with a little photoshopping. The main body of the roach still only came out as one flat, textureless surface

If he gets the chance, your friend should perhaps snap another picture, with a little better lighting i.e. no flash but perhaps a medium bright flashlight/torch/ ordinary lamp.

Still, if you're lucky, somebody might be able to identify it by contours alone.

White roaches often tend to be newly moulted ones, so it being white doesn't mean it's a white species. Still, maybe someone will be able to recognize its shape.

I m just wondering why don't u check local insect books or ask local researchers, even prof in UNI, instead of asking questions on a North-America based site?

you could try Allpet roach forum. Those guys specialize in just roaches. I would start there. There are also other roach discussion forums that may be able to help you. Welcome to the hobby and the AB board!
