* Your locality is in the sea. Remember to use decimal degrees, the conversion is degrees + minutes/60 + seconds/3600. Please fix this.
*Your Latin name is great, but for the Common Name put in the common name. Cockroach is too generic and Blattidae is not part of the common name: in this case I would have used Padfoot Cockroach. {I would also have only identified to genus, after reading that there are 15 very similar species}.
*Your notes are not anything to do with the Identification - they are a description of the habits and habitat: these should have gone in the "Description" and not the "ID notes" (they wont be picked up now by a search on notes, but only on a search for identification). Have moved them for you.
