Cockroaches

Cockroaches are widely regarded as one of the oldest species on earth. Generally omnivores, these insects are mainly nocturnal and will run away when exposed to light. Hardy in design, a cockroach is capable of living for a month without food.

Cockroaches exist worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions. There are roughly 4,500 species in six families.
