Anaplectinae
Anaplectidae is a family of cockroaches in the order Blattodea.

Ectobiidae
Ectobiidae (formerly Blattellidae) is a family of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). This family contains many of the smaller common household pest cockroaches, among others.

Blattodea
Blattodea is an order (biology), order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites. Formerly, termites were considered a separate order, Isoptera, but genetics, genetic and molecular evidence suggests they evolved from within the cockroach lineage, cladistically making them cockroaches as well. The Blattodea and the mantis (order Mantodea) are now all considered part of the superorder Dictyoptera. Blattodea includes approximately 4,400 species of cockroach in almost 500 genera, and about 3,000 species of termite in around 300 genera. Termites are pale-coloured, soft-bodied eusocial insects that live in colonies, whereas cockroaches are darker-coloured (often brown), sclerotin, sclerotized, segmented insects. Within the colony, termites have a caste system, with a pair of mature reproductives, the king and the queen, and numerous sterile workers and soldiers. Cockroaches are not colonial but do have a tendency to aggregate and may be considered pre-social, as all adults are c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Maraca (cockroach)
A maraca ( , , ), sometimes called shaker or chac-chac, is a rattle which appears in many genres of Caribbean and Latin music. It is shaken by a handle and usually played as part of a pair. A maraca player in the Spanish language is called a . Etymology The term ''maraca'' is believed to originate from the Guarani word ''mbaraca''. Other authors, for their part, believe that it is a corruption of the Arabic-origin word ''mitraqah'', used in African countries with a dual meaning of bell and hammer. However, some authors have questioned the Arabic origin, since ''mitraqah'' apparently derives from the Spanish word ''matraca''. The instrument is known by various names across Latin America and the Caribbean, including ''maracá'' (Brazil), ''chac-chac'' or '' shak-shak'' (Eastern Caribbean), and ''higuera'' (Puerto Rico, referencing the calabash tree). In Brazil, numerous regional variants exist, such as ''adjá'', ''canzá'', ''ganzá'', and ''xeque''. History The maraca i ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cockroaches
Cockroaches (or roaches) are insects belonging to the Order (biology), order Blattodea (Blattaria). About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known Pest (organism), pests. Modern cockroaches are an ancient group that first appeared during the Late Jurassic, with their ancestors, known as "Roachoid, roachoids", likely originating during the Carboniferous period around 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 Insect mouthparts, mouthparts of aphids and other Hemiptera, 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 Köppen climate classification, climates, from Arctic cold to Tropics, tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often muc ...
