Latin Name:: Blattella germanica
Appearance:: About 5/8-inch long. Light to medium brown with two dark longitudinal streaks on the thorax.Although it has wings, it is not very skilled at flight and is unable to sustain flight.
Habit:: Nocturnal; primarily infests areas close to food, moisture and warmth. Most common cockroach found in and around apartments, homes, supermarkets and restaurants.
Diet:: The German cockroach eats a wide variety of items. They particularly like starch, sugary foods, grease and meats. The cockroach can be seen in the day, especially if there is a large population or if they have been disturbed; sightings are commonly reported in the daytime hours. However, they are nocturnal, and therefore most active at night.
Reproduction:: Females can produce one egg capsule every 20 to 25 days. Each capsule contains from 18 to 48 eggs. Newborns become adults in as little as 36 days. Adults can live up to one year.
Other:: Extremely heavy infestations are not uncommon. Often found aboard ships. The most widely dispersed of all cockroaches in the United States.
Origins:: The German cockroach is originally from Asia, and is also very closely related to the Asian cockroach, to the extent that to the casual observer they appear nearly identical and may be mistaken for the other.
