Large (2-inch) Cockroach, well-camouflaged within a rotting log. Out of the 4500+ species of cockroaches, only a couple of dozen kinds enter our homes. Most are harmless forest dwellers like this one. Interestingly, their closest insect relatives are the termites, which are also in the order Blattodea (Peruvian Amazon).
