The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and often inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is they are all outdoor cockroaches, located in coastal areas.

They’re fast concerning reproducing. The male species are highly sensitive to female cockroach pheromones, whereas the female ones are active in laying eggs. When they mate, they can produce 16 sacks or capsules with multiple eggs inside. What is more? Interesting with the female cockroach is that without even mating, they could still produce eggs with saved sperm. All cockroaches can live up to 1 year.

They prefer moist, humid areas, and typically live in environments where temperatures average a minimum of 29 degrees.
