Oriental Cockroach

Dark, damp, and cool areas such as basements, crawl spaces, sewers, and drains.

Omnivorous scavengers that feed on decaying organic matter, starchy foods, and garbage.

Primarily nocturnal insects that prefer moist environments; they are relatively slow-moving and cannot fly despite having vestigial wings in males.

They pose health risks as they can carry foodborne pathogens and allergens; they have no direct benefits to humans but assist in decomposing matter in the wild.
