The cockroach is truly an evolutionary wonder. This definitive
volume provides a complete overview of suborder Blattaria,
highlighting the diversity of these amazing insects in their
natural environments. Beginning with a foreword by Edward O.
Wilson, the book explores the fascinating natural history and
behavior of cockroaches, describing their various colors, sizes,
and shapes, as well as how they move on land, in water, and through
the air. In addition to habitat use, diet, reproduction, and
behavior, Cockroaches covers aspects of cockroach biology, such as
the relationship between cockroaches and microbes, termites as
social cockroaches, and the ecological impact of the suborder. With
over 100 illustrations, an expanded glossary, and an invaluable set
of references, this work is destined to become the classic book on
the Blattaria. Students and research entomologists can mine each
chapter for new ideas, new perspectives, and new directions for
future study.
