Latin Name:: Blatta orientalis
Appearance:: a large species of cockroach, measuring about 1 inch in length at maturity. It is dark brown to black in colour and has a glossy body. The female Oriental cockroach has a somewhat different appearance to the male, it appears to be wingless at casual glance but has two very short and useless wings just below its head. It has a wider body than the male. The male has long wings, which cover a majority of its body and are brown in colour, and has a more narrow body. Neither the male or female can fly, apparently. The female Oriental cockroach looks somewhat similar to the Florida woods cockroach, and may be mistaken for it.
Habit:: Common outdoors; often enters buildings through sewer pipes. Tends to live near the ground and in warm, damp areas.
Diet:: Eats anything, but often found feeding on garbage, sewage and decaying organic matter. Seems to prefer starches, if available.
Reproduction:: Egg capsules contain 16 eggs. Females will produce an average of eight capsules. Nymphs go through seven molts before becoming adults in about a year. Adults can live up to six months.
Other:: Also known as "water bugs" or "black beetles." More sluggish than other species, often mistaken for Florida Woods Cockroach whom gives off a distinctly unpleasant odor and isn't a major pest in home.
