Description

The American Cockroach (Periplanta americana) is a common cockroach native to Africa and the Middle East despite its name. As a result of commerce, the species was introduced to the United States from Africa as early as 1625. The American Cockroach has three sections. The body is broad, flat, and oval with a shield-like pronotum that covers the head. The second section has chewing mouth parts, a long antennae, leathery fore wings, and delicate hind wings, and the third section is the abdomen. Despite its large size the American Cockroach can fit in small cracks and under doors, and it is considered one of the fastest running insects.
