The organism was found on a tree bark in a park in the Riverview, FL area. The lichen covered the entirety of the tree bark in various, irregular and continuous shapes. The color appeared to be a slightly light green color accompanied by a grey tint. The texture seemed to be wrinkly and rough.

I don't know if thats the exact name for the lichen/moss like plant but it definitely looks incredibly similar. This tree. was covered in it and it almost looked as though the tree was dying with it on. Very cool visually to me. Quite a few trees around it had the same thing growing on them. There are all types of tree in this location so many of this specific tree had this on it.

Domain: Periplaneta americana

Name: American Cockroach

Description: The Periplaneta americana fully grown is usually around 4 cm long. They go through 3 stages of life; the egg, nymph and then adult. The Periplaneta americana pictured is in nymph stage. After hatching they are white and then after molting they become either a greyish-brown or a reddish-brown while the posterior margins are a darker color. After instar 4 they grow wing pads. In this photo you can see that it is a redish-brown color with darker margins and the start of wing pad formation.

Habitat: The American Cockroach is usually found in sewers, basements and drainage systems but also commonly found in commercial buildings that produce food. Outside they are found in moist and shady areas including hollow trees and wood piles. I found this American Cockroach in a horse barn that has a surplus on wood, food, water and dark places for hiding from the sun.
