BACKYARD CRITTERS<br />
Mike Bowie is an ecologist who specialises in<br />
entomology (insects and other invertebrates). Each<br />
week he introduces a new species found in his<br />
backyard at Lincoln. His column aims to raise public<br />
awareness of biodiversity, the variety of living things<br />
around us. Check out the full list of invertebrates found<br />

MANY PEOPLE<br />
hate cockroaches,<br />
particularly when<br />
they are around<br />
food.<br />
In the cooler<br />
south we are less<br />
likely to see the<br />
larger exotic roach<br />
species, but with<br />
our warming<br />
climate, species<br />
distributions are<br />
changing.<br />
The Gisborne<br />
cockroach is one<br />
of those that is dispersing<br />
south and<br />
this week I found<br />
my first specimen<br />
of Drymaplaneta<br />
semivitta in our<br />
section at Lincoln.<br />
This species has<br />
made its way down<br />
to Invercargill, but<br />
as it is flightless,<br />
it is likely to have<br />
hitched a ride.<br />
The Gisborne<br />
cockroach is actually<br />
an Australian<br />
species that was<br />
first recorded in<br />
Gisborne in the<br />
<strong>19</strong>60s. This large<br />
cockroach (20-<br />
45mm long and<br />
12-15mm wide) has<br />
a shiny dark brown<br />
body with a tan to<br />
translucent strip<br />
on the edges of its<br />
head and thorax.<br />
All six of its legs are<br />
covered in spines<br />
and its hind legs are<br />
much larger.<br />
Fortunately,<br />
it is not often<br />
found inside or<br />
around our food,<br />
so is less likely to<br />
transmit disease<br />
as the German<br />
or American<br />
cockroaches can.<br />
The Gisborne<br />
cockroach prefers<br />
being outside in<br />
bark or woodchips<br />
and usually likes to<br />
squeeze into narrow<br />
gaps only a few<br />
millimetres wide<br />
to hide.<br />
