Most cockroaches are not pests, and seldom come into houses, also, most are less harmful to us than many of the insecticides that are used against them. Almost nothing is known about most of the cockroaches of South Africa, so there are plenty of opportunities for school projects! Some cockroaches make wonderful pets.

Cockroach
This picture comes from Encarta.
Cockroaches live in leaf litter, bromeliads, the splash zone of waterfalls and bat caves.
They eat many different foods including scraps and other cockroaches.
Their characteristics are that they can vary from light to dark wood-brown, they have flat oval backs and can grow from 1mm to 6cm. They can be winged or wingless.
Cockroaches' enemies are humans because they have invented spray and cockroach bait.

A DYSTOPIA OF COLOR EDUCATION IN A UTOPIA OF COLOR EXPERIENCE
(c) Christopher Willard, 1998
Possibilities for color explorations in art are probably more ubiquitous now than any other time since mid-century when a brief, but intense, focus on the aesthetic side of color arose with the 1963 publication of Josef Albers' Interaction of Color. The heyday was short. Technology picked up color study on a serious level and becau ...

You don't see most cockroaches because they hide in the day and come out when it is dark.

From the island of Madagascar, these cockroaches can grow to 4" long. They produce a hissing noise by quickly contracting their exoskeleton, squeezing air though the spiricles in the side of their bodies. The noise can scare away potential predators like birds.

Cockroaches
The cockroach has changed very little in general structure since they first appeared on earth
more than 250 million years ago.
Cockroaches are usually flat, with a smooth, waxy tough skin. They vary in color from a
chestnut-brown to black, in the house-invading species, but the tropical species frequently
are green, orange, or other colors. The head has mouthparts protruding forward designed
for chewing. Most species have two pairs of wings. While many cockroaches can ...

TIPS for CONTROL
Budget Pest Control achieves total elimination, at a fraction of the cost by dispensing boric acid powder in a fine, even flow, imparting an electrostatic charge that enables the powder to stick to virtually to any surface for an indefinite period of time, with our patented P.E.S.T. ® Machine.
