American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana, family Blattidae, order Blattodea): It is often used in laboratories because it is easy to culture. Originally from Africa, it is now found worldwide. They are highly active, can run very fast, and fly in hot conditions. They usually hide during the day, coming out to feed after dark. They eat a range of organic matter and food scraps, regurgitating already digested food and leaving behind their faeces and a characteristic unpleasant smell. Males may have special glands on their back, which secrete chemicals that lure a mate into a suitable position for copulation. Females can produce up to 50 egg cases, each containing 12-14 eggs. The egg cases may be deposited on, buried in, or stuck to a variety of surfaces.
