Brown Banded Cockroach
Supella Longipalpa
Characteristics
The brown banded cockroach, from the name itself, is characterised by having two distinct bands seen on its nymph and adult body. It can also be distinguished from other species because it lacks the two pronotal stripes. An adult can grow up to 10mm to 15mm long, with males being longer when compared to the females.
Habitat
Unlike other types of cockroaches, this species can survive in dry environments, making indoors conducive for living. It is also called the 'furniture cockroach' because it thrives inside cabinets, cupboards, and under tables. When searching for food, they can also roam around roof spaces, sinks, and pipes.
Lifecycle
The ootheca (egg cases) of the females can carry around 10 to 18 eggs that will turn into nymphs between 40 to 110 days. The nymphal stage can last up to 120 days. At this point, the nymph has already developed its distinct two light-coloured bands. These bands turn dark when the cockroach reaches adulthood. An adult brown banded cockroach has a lifespan of 90 to 180 days.
