the common shining cockroach ( drymaplaneta communis ) is a cockroach native to south-east australia .

it feeds on organic matter and is often found under the bark of eucalypt trees .

during the late 1990s and 2000s , this cockroach appears to have had a population explosion in sydney and melbourne and is commonly found inside houses .

this population increase likely coincides with an extended dry period , where many suburban gardeners added mulch to their gardens providing habitat for the common shining cockroach .

despite commonly being found inside houses , the common shining cockroach does not pose the same health risk as introduced cockroaches .

museum victoria ' s senior curator of entomology ken walker says the common shining cockroach doesn ' t carry disease or wish to share your meals .
as the gardens continued to dry out during the drought , desperate local cockroaches , like the common shining cockroach , started to venture into bathrooms seeking moisture , mr honan says .
the common shining cockroach is native to australia . it is a glossy black or dark brown cockroach with pale margin around the front half of the body . during the last decade or so , numbers have increased in cities such as sydney and melbourne where they often wander into houses , but they are not a pest species and not a health risk like some of the introduced cockroach species . if you find one in the house , try to put it back outside rather than kill it , as they are beneficial to the garden by breaking up leaf litter .
but it gets much worse . it may change your dental hygiene habits to know your toothbrush is a cockroach ' s favourite .
in dry weather leaf - eating bugs such as aphids , lerps ( which attach themselves to leaves ) and common butterflies are also likely to thrive .
if cockroach spotting is becoming sport at your house , you may want to look twice before next bringing a shoe down on the little critters .

local cockroaches are parched but for leaf - eating bugs it ' s an orgy of eating and breeding , as melbourne ' s drying conditions are a boon for some creatures and dire for others .
rainfall in melbourne has been well below average for five of the past six months , down by about one - third in every month but june , which is bad news for native cockroaches .
dry conditions are both the reason why we have some cockroaches in urban areas and the reason we see them inside homes , melbourne museum ' s manager of live exhibits patrick honan says .
about five years ago the local shy variety were hardly known . these creepy crawlies ate bush leaf litter , quietly churning soil nutrients , breaking down mulch and being part of the native eco system . but when gardeners - worried about water restrictions and drought - started introducing mulch to their gardens many were inadvertently transporting native cockroaches to their gardens inside bags of mulch .
they only tend to be inside temporarily because there is nothing for them to eat inside . they are transient visitors ,
he said .
these locals are around all year but it is only the dry conditions that bring them to notice , he says . there are about 500 native species but only four introduced varieties which are the ones seen scurrying in pantries or wardrobes .
mr honan knows most people either fear or loathe cockroaches no matter where they come from .
people don ' t like them but they are neutral as far as humans are concerned , they are neither good nor bad ,
he said .
in theory , he says , melburnians with cockroaches in their bathrooms should be looking for a garden hose to water their garden rather than a shoe to splat them with .
that would make the garden outside more attractive than the inside of the house , but it might not work in all circumstances ,
he said .
leaf chewers do well during the dry weather ,
mr honan said .
distressed plants concentrate their nutrients in an effort to survive making leaves and sap richer and a feast for leaf chewers .
every year there will be a massive increase in one particular insect ,
mr honan said .
the environmental factors and sequence seem to make it perfect for that particular insect . there could be seven or eight factors that make it perfect for them to breed in numbers . we never really know what those factors are until it ' s happened – it might be dry , then two weeks of rain and then very dry conditions . you just don ' t know .
there is one weather factor that brings an universally dreaded bug , and that is the hot northerly wind from the top end of australia . the foul bush fly travels on those winds .
once they start being blown down on the hot northerly they start to breed here , but they can ' t survive melbourne ' s winter so that ' s something ,
mr honan said .

welcome to the age . skip directly to : search box , section navigation , content . text version .
entomologists say that the shiny black kind are the
good
guys and melbourne ' s increasingly warm , dry weather is sending them indoors in search of moist places to lay eggs .
it is a native and it ' s not a pest , just a nuisance , so it ' s really just a matter of us learning to live with our native animals ,
he said .
roaming ' roaches have kept the phones ringing for pest control companies , but exopest director and entomologist simon dixon says having your yard sprayed with insecticide is unlikely to affect native cockroaches in their hiding places . it ' s also bad for the environment as it ' s more likely to kill vital smaller insects .
unfortunately , many pest control companies will say yes , they ' ll spray , but we don ' t advocate it as it is very ineffective and a waste of money ,
he said .
you are better to pick them up with a dustpan and shoo them outside .
or get a chook , council permitting .
but the
bad
cockroaches are also flourishing in homes and businesses around melbourne courtesy of the warmer weather . along with american and oriental cockroaches , german invaders are the exotic disease - carrying nasties who have adapted to living inside and feasting on our food scraps and other less savoury meals .
they carry a lot of diseases because they can be in sewers one moment and then in the pantry on your vita - brits ,
said dr walker .
they will set up home under the fridge or in cupboards and feast from bins or food scraps and seek other places of moisture , such as the bathroom .
they will go for moisture and unfortunately one of the last things we do at night is clean our teeth , turn off the light and leave the wet toothbrush in a cup , so it ' s a logical target ,
dr walker said .
touted as the critter most likely to survive a nuclear explosion , cockroaches have many remarkable survival abilities . even decapitation won ' t slow them down . and the females of some species can produce up to 20 , 000 young a year .
the drought has also caused other creepy - crawlies such as spiders to join the mass exodus from the garden . species that are vagrant hunters , such as huntsman , wolf and white - tailed spiders , are shacking up indoors .
they come inside foraging or just by accident , but they don ' t know it is a house ,
said mr dixon .
once they get inside , they can ' t get out .

this sighting hasn ' t been described yet ! be the first to describe this sighting .
i opened the front door this morning to have this guy scuttle out from under it . just over 3cm long . i had it down as drymaplaneta communis , having seen it on the morwell national park website urltoken looking around i found there are two almost identical species from the genus in victoria . then i stumbled across a page by some guy called ken walker and that gave me the defining feature to check for . i also found comments by this same ken walker here on bowerbird which read as
the margins of the hind tibia of d . communis are parallel whereas the margins of the hind tibia of d . semivitta are rounded
. so d . communis it is .
by the way , any fine white streaks in the shot are bits of fluff reminding me i must sweep the floor . except for those blurry streaks in the top right hand corner of the third shot . that ' s the cats whiskers . seems i wasn ' t the only one with an interest in large roaches .

distinguish these from similar prosapia ignipectus by examining underside - - ignipectus has bright red coxae .
there are several other common north american spittlebug species . prosapia bicincta might be confused with their similar sister species , p . ignipectus , but can be distinguished in adult form as p . ignipectus has a bright red ventral surface that shows especially when they fly .
the two - lined spittlebug ( prosapia bicincta ) is one of the most common species in eastern north america . adults are dark brown with two red - orange stripes and feed on grasses , weeds , and holly . nymphs are yellow and are often found on grasses in late spring .
the two - lined spittlebug , scientific name prosapia bicincta , is a hemipteran insect similar to leafhoppers , but spittlebugs are in the sister family cercopidae . two - lined spittlebugs occur in the eastern united states , from maine to florida ( primarily northwestern florida ) and west to iowa , kansas , and oklahoma .

adults are black with ( typically ) two red to orange lines crossing the wings . eyes are red . some adults lack the lines , are mostly black above :
nymphs are usually concealed by the foam they produce , but are supposed to resemble adults but without wings .
in the immature ( nymph ) stage ( surrounded by the
spittle
foam which protects them , and which they produce from juices they suck from the plant ) they feed on centipedegrass , bermudagrass and other grasses , including occasionally corn .
adults feed on hollies - they feed on the underside of leaves , and damage shows up as pale mottling not usually visible from above .
considered a pest of grasses and hollies , though damage is usually relatively minor .

adult spittlebugs are about 8–10 mm ( 3 / 8 inch ) long and dark brown to black in color . they usually have two brilliant red - orange lines crossing the wings , but sometimes are unbanded . they hold their wings over the back of their body . if disturbed , adults produce an unpleasant smelling chemical as a defense . their bright coloration pattern may be a warning that they are inedible . adults are most active in early morning and hide near the soil surface or in hollies and other shrubbery the rest of the day . at night they become active , and may be attracted to lights .
