Insect 1

My group and I are taking a hike through the nearby forest. Suddenly, we hear a loud hissing noise coming from a rotting log. Our guide flips the log over. There's a large group of hissing roaches. They look like a typical roach, except that they are wingless. They're about 2 inches in length. Their young are called nymphs, and are obviously quite smaller than the adults. The roaches eat vegetables and mites. It's preyed upon by birds and large rodents.
