German Cockroach

Indoor environments, particularly kitchens and bathrooms where there is access to moisture and heat.

Omnivorous scavenger; they consume human food, crumbs, grease, soap, and book bindings.

Nocturnal and highly gregarious, often found in clusters; they undergo hemimetabolous metamorphosis and reproduce faster than any other residential cockroach.

Major residential pest that can spread pathogens (Salmonella, E. coli), trigger allergies, and worsen asthma; it has no significant benefits to the urban ecosystem.
