I'm not sure if this was teneral, but it was larger than our usual garden finds, in a curl of leaf. It has very long cerci too.
Caught this cocky on my window, never seen the underside in such detail before. My glass/window was filthy, I spent quite a bit of time cleaning up the smudges and dust speckle particles that lit up with the flash.
Panchlora nivea
My favorite roach! If I could find a red one, they would make a good Christmas shot.

Not sure what species this is. Looks similar but different to those other cockroaches from Hong Kong.
Final couple of images from my Hong Kong trip.
Cockroach (Blattodea) & offspring - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
Not an award winning photo but the first time I have seen parental behavior in a cockroach. This roach was attending its young on a leaf in the rainforest. I couldnt get the best angle without disturbing all the vegetation surrounding them so I settled for a quick shot, when I came back hours later the little roachlets had turned a darker color but were still near the parent (mother?) underneath a nearby leaf. As it turns out parenting is not unheard of in roaches and quite a few species display various levels of parenting.
These pretty young cockroaches were wandering around on the ground. There were three together having a chat when we came along.
Possibly a Desmozosteria elongata. It is similar to several Anamesia species.
