Australian Cockroach
Periplaneta Australasiae
Characteristics
The Australian cockroach is a species that is about 30mm to 35mm long with a reddish-brown colour and yellow streaks on its pronotum and forewings. The males are thinner than the females are, but both sexes have fully developed wings that cover the abdomen.
Habitat
This species prefers a tropical climate specifically in dark and humid areas. It thrives under piles of wood, barks of trees, and where there is rotting vegetation in the wild, but it can also live in sinks, pipes, and floors of kitchens and bathrooms in houses.
Lifecycle
The life cycle of an Australian cockroach consists of eggs, five nymphal stages, and then adulthood. The ootheca of the female, which carries the eggs, can hold up to 24 embryos that develop for about 40 days. After which, these eggs hatch to become nymphs. The nymphal stage lasts for about 6 to 12 months before they become adults with fully grown and functional wings.
