Arenivaga in LA?

NRoach

Third Instar
Hey guys, I found two roaches several months ago. They're doing really well so I figured I would go look for more. It took a few hours and a sore back from leaning over, but I found a few :) I was wondering if anyone knew what this species could be. I'm guessing they're in the genus Arenivaga, but I'm not positive. Sorry about the bad pictures. I was using the camera on an old phone. By the way, I live in Los Angeles, California. I've seen this species or a closely related species in Elysian Park next to Dodger Stadium as well when I tripped and loosened a bunch of dirt.

Yes, they are Arenivaga!

Species ID won't be determined until you can get an adult male to send it to an expert.
