The Florida Woods Cockroach (Eurycotis floridana), is a large species of cockroach, which ussually grows to a length of 1 1/2" to 2". It is black in colour, and has a wide, glossy body, and appears at first glance to be wingless, however it does have very short wings just beneath its head, which are useless for flying. The cockroach, when disturbed, often emits a strong, disagreeable odour, somewhat reminiscent of amaretto. The Florida woods roach looks remarkably similar to the female Oriental cockroach, and the two could be mistaken for each other to the casual observer.

The roach is slower moving than other species. It prefers damp locations, lots of moisture, and does well in warm, damp climates. It is found in its native habitats, such as Florida, and the West Indies. The roach can wander indoors at times, especially into damp locations, such as bathrooms, however, it is found mostly outdoors and is not considered a major pest in the home. It is cold intolerant and requires a warm, sub-tropical or tropical climate. It can often be seen in sheltered outdoor locations, such as under leaf litter, in tree holes, and under lumber and boards, and other crevices. It is often seen i bushes and wooded areas. Often it can be seen on Palmetto trees, wich gave it one of its early popular names, the Palmetto bug. However, the American cockroach eventually ended up being called the Palmetto bug and this is today often what the name refers to.
