Cockroaches: Appearances and Lifestyle

Cockroaches are creatures of nightmare and do not need to be described any further. However, just in case, you confuse them with other insects, they do have their own peculiarities. Whatever the species maybe, roaches come in shades of brown, some with bands on them. They have an elongated body whose length differs according to the species of roach we are dealing with. And probably the worst part about their ensemble is that, when you finally think you have one corner, they spread their translucent brown wings and fly around the room. They have a pair of antennas acting as sensors as well.

Cockroaches have three stages in their lifecycle. They start out with being an egg. The eggs are carried in a kidney-shaped purse called ootheca. An adult female can lay 10 to 40 eggs together.

The nymphs hatch from the eggs. A roach nymph will molt several times in the nymphal stage till it reaches the hardened monstrosity of its adulthood. They will molt again and again till the soft white skin is encases in the hard brown shell. In ideal climates, the entire procedure will require a few weeks at the most.

The styles and habits of the adult cockroach depend on the particular species. The German roach has a very short incubation while the average cockroach egg takes 20 to 60 days to hatch.

Of the more common cockroaches that haunt the homes of Perth are the German Roach, the American Cockroach, the Oriental cockroach and the brown-banded cockroach.
