    The cockroach lifecycle has three stages - egg, nymph, and adult. Female cockroaches produce egg cases called oothecae containing many eggs. Upon hatching, nymphs emerge and undergo molting until becoming adults. Adults are brown, 1-3 inches long with wings and antennae. Cockroaches can live 1-2 years, and some species up to 10 years. They prefer warm, dark areas and can survive without their heads for a week. A German cockroach and offspring can produce 300,000 more roaches in a year.

    Cockroach
    Life Cycle Of a Cockroach and more

    By: Aryan Mohachkar


    Life cycle of a Cockroach
     The cockroach lifecycle actually has
    three developmental stages. These stages
    are known as the egg, the nymph, and the
    adult stages.
     Cockroach typically go through three
    stages of development during their life
    cycle therefore they are known as to have
    in incomplete metamorphosis. During this
    time period, the egg of the insect
    transforms into a form called a nymph it
    does not have been the name Shades its
    outer covering number of times and
    changes into an adult this is known as
    molting.
    Egg
    Egg Case. Female
    cockroaches produce
    egg cases, known as
    oothecae. Oothecae
    contain many eggs and
    are enveloped by a
    protein substance that
    gradually hardens into
    a strong, protective
    casing. Some cockroach
    species drop the egg
    case, while other species
    carry it until the eggs
    are ready to hatch.
    Nymph
     Upon emerging from
    the egg case, or ootheca,
    this immature form
    of cockroach is known
    as a nymph or baby
    cockroach. ... Cockroach
    nymphs undergo a series
    of molts. They emerge as
    full adults from their
    final molt. German
    cockroach nymphs are
    often less than 3
    millimeters long when
    they hatch.
    Adult Cockroach
     The average adult cockroach
    will be 1-1/2 to 3 in. long with
    three pairs of legs, two pairs of
    wings and a long pair of
    antennae on the front of their
    head.
     Most cockroaches are brown.
    The average lifespan for a
    cockroach is one to two years,
    with some species living as long
    as a decade. One of oldest
    surviving insects on the planet, it
    is estimated that cockroaches
    have existed for 200 million
    years.
    Facts of Cockroaches

     The word cockroach comes from


    the Spanish word "cucaracha"
    which means "crazy bug".
     There are about 4,000 different
    species of cockroaches in the world.
     Cockroaches generally prefer
    warm, humid, dark areas.
     The cockroach can live without its
    head for an entire week.
     The number of young that one roach can
    bear also varies considerably. A German
    cockroach and her young can produce
    300,000 more roaches in one year. An
    American cockroach and her young can
    produce a comparatively small 800 new
    roaches per year.
     In some species, this process takes only a
    few weeks. In others, like the oriental
    cockroach, it takes between one and two
    years. The overall life span of cockroaches
    differs as well -- some live only a few months
    while others live for more than two years.
