  Pseudomops septentrionalis is a small field-dwelling cockroach native to North and Central America. It is commonly known as the pale-bordered field cockroach or firefly roach. Unlike many cockroach species associated with human structures, this species inhabits outdoor environments. It has been documented as a host for the endosymbiotic bacterium Wolbachia, which may provide nutritional benefits.
