Egg case. Most Blattodea have little interest in invading our houses. They are very happy in the garden, bush, forest ..

Very interesting cockroach. I think it's probably an Ectoneura sp. But I don't have enough info to identify this one to species.

Ectobiidae (family)

I think this is Polyzosteria aenea (Pink-tailed heath cockroach) but not 100% sure.

Platyzosteria sp. (genus)

This looks closer to an Ellipsidion humerale nymph to me. I can’t see it as an option to use as Suggestion so will leave at Genus-level.
