Periplaneta Fuliginosa
The smokybrown cockroach (''Periplaneta fuliginosa'') is a large species of cockroach, winged, and growing to a length of .Appel, A. G., & Smith II, L. M. (2002). Biology and management of the smokybrown cockroach. ''Annual Review of Entomology'', 47, 33–55 Characteristics Although closely related to the American cockroach (''Periplaneta americana''), the smokybrown cockroach is readily distinguishable from it by its uniformly light to dark brown–Mahogany (color), mahogany coloration. Furthermore, unlike the ''P. americana'', which possesses a light-rimmed pattern on its thorax, the smokybrown cockroach's thorax is dark and shiny. Diet The smokybrown cockroach is a detritivore and can feed off a wide array of organic (including decaying) matter. Like most cockroaches, it is a scavenger, whereby it feeds on many different types of foods including dry Earthworm, earthworms, pet food, pet waste such as feces and urine, paper, and many types of ripe fruits.

Periplaneta Australasiae
The Australian cockroach (''Periplaneta australasiae'') is a common species of tropical cockroach, with a length of . It is brown overall, with the tegmina having a conspicuous lateral pale stripe or margin, and the pronotum (head shield) with a sharply contrasting pale or yellow margin. It is very similar in appearance to the American cockroach and may be easily mistaken for it. It is, however, slightly smaller than the American cockroach, and has a yellow margin on the thorax and yellow streaks at its sides near the wing base. Distribution Despite its name, the Australian cockroach is a cosmopolitan species, and an introduced species in Australia. ''P. australasiae'' probably originated in Africa. It is very common in the southern United States and in tropical climates, and can be found in many locations throughout the world due to its travels by shipping and commerce between locations. Habitat It prefers warmer climates and is not cold-tolerant, but it may be able to surv ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Periplaneta Americana
The american cockroach (''Periplaneta americana'') is the largest species of common cockroach, and often considered a pest. In certain regions of the U.S. it is colloquially known as the waterbug, though it is not a true waterbug since it is not aquatic. It is also known as the ship cockroach, kakerlac, and Bombay canary. It is often misidentified as a palmetto bug. Despite their name, American cockroaches are native to Africa and the Middle East. They are believed to have been introduced to the Americas only from the 17th century AD onward as a result of human commercial patterns, including the Atlantic slave trade The Atlantic slave trade, transatlantic slave trade, or Euro-American slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and i .... Distribution Despite the name, none of the ''Periplaneta'' species is native to the Americas; ''P. americana'' ...

Cockroach
Cockroaches (or roaches) are a paraphyletic group of insects belonging to Blattodea, containing all members of the group except termites. About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known as pests. The cockroaches are an ancient group, with their ancestors, known as " roachoids", originating during the Carboniferous period, some 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of climates, from Arctic cold to tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often much larger than temperate species. Modern cockroaches are not considered to be a monophyletic group, as it has be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
American Cockroach
The american cockroach (''Periplaneta americana'') is the largest species of common cockroach, and often considered a pest.

They are believed to have been introduced to the Americas only from the 17th century AD onward as a result of human commercial patterns, including the Atlantic slave trade. Distribution Despite the name, none of the ''Periplaneta'' species is native to the Americas; ''P. americana'' was introduced to what is now the United States from Africa as early as 1625. They are now common in tropical climates because human activity has extended the insects' range of habitation, and are virtually cosmopolitan in distribution as a result of gl ...

Periplaneta Japonica
The Japanese cockroach (''Periplaneta japonica''), also known as the Yamato cockroach, is a cockroach native to Japan, adapted to cooler northern climates. It has a flexible univoltine or semivoltine (one- or two-year) lifecycle, depending on the timing of its hatching, and is unusual in being able to spend two winters as diapause nymphs before reaching maturity. Description Initial first-instar nymphs are dark brown, with white or brownish white tips of the maxillary and labial palps. Adults measure in length, and have a shiny, uniformly black to blackish-brown body, with brown tarsi and maxillary and labial palps. The adult male's wings extend slightly beyond the body's length, while the female's wings are around half the body's length. Unlike most cockroaches, the major hydrocarbon in ''P. japonica''’s cuticular lipids is . Males have significant amounts of not found on females, as do '' P. australasiae'' and '' P. fuliginosa'' males and females. Glucose, myo-inositol, ...

Periplaneta Japanna
''Periplaneta japanna'' is a subtropical field-dwelling cockroach endemic to southern Japan. The Japanese common name means urushi cockroach, or lacquer tree cockroach. Nymphs and adults are a dark black, and typically live under stones and pieces of wood. Their ability to bore or live in rotting wood enables their spread via ocean currents. The species is found on several Japanese islands, distributed continuously from Japan's southwestern Ryukyu Islands The , also known as the or the , are a chain of Japanese islands that stretch southwest from Kyushu to Taiwan: the Ōsumi, Tokara, Amami, Okinawa, and Sakishima Islands (further divided into the Miyako and Yaeyama Islands), with Yona ... chain to the south of Kiyushu Island, and on Hachijō-jima Island. Nymph specimens from Hachijō-jima Island and Naha, Okinawa responded to photoperiodic stimuli quite differently during laboratory-induced diapause tests.
