The cockroach could not have scuttled along, almost unchanged, for two hundred and fifty million years – some two hundred and forty-nine before man evolved – unless it was doing something right. It would be fascinating as well as instructive to have access to the cockroach’s own record of its life on earth, to know its point of view on evolution and species domination over the millennia. Such chronicles would perhaps radically alter our perceptions of the dinosaur’s span and importance – and that of our own development and significance. We might learn that throughout all these aeons, the dominant life form has been, if not the cockroach itself, then certainly the insect. Attempts to chronicle the cockroach’s intellectual and emotional life have been made only within the last century when a scientist titled his essay on the cockroach "The Intellectual and Emotional World of the Cockroach", and artists as radically different as Franz Kafka and Don Marquis created equally memorable cockroach protagonists. At least since Classical Greece, authors have brought cockroach characters into the foreground to speak for the weak and downtrodden, the outsiders, those forced to survive on the underside of dominant human cultures. Cockroaches have become the subjects of songs (La Cucaracha), have competed in "roachraces" and have even ended up in recipes. In this accessible, sympathetic and often humorous book, Marion Copeland examines the natural history, symbolism and cultural significance of this poorly understood and much-maligned insect.

The German cockroach is considered to be the most resilient and ecologically important insect pest found in homes, apartments, and commercial facilities in the United States and across the world. This book expertly provides up-to-the-minute information about the behavior and biology of this pest--including taxonomy, distribution, morphology, and genetics--as it may relate to effective technologies for its control. Building on information presented piecemeal in books and articles appearing over more than 50 years, the book features over 1,200 references related to the German cockroach, most published within the last year. With contributions from the top experts, the book will be invaluable to students and practitioners of entomology and pest management.

This volume deals mainly with the biology of the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana (1.). Contributors were urged to emphasize recent findings, including unpublished data when possible, a goal that would not have been feasible if it were not for the two previously published books on the basic biology of cockroaches, The Biology o/the Cockroach (1968) by D. M. Guthrie and A. R. Tindall and The Cockroach, Volume 1 (1968) by P. B. Cornwell. Those topics not included in The American Cockroach, such as external morphology, are well covered in the two preceding books. In addition, these books provided a broad background upon which contributors to The American Cockroach have been able to build with recent trends, new and established concepts and integration. Although this book deals primarily with the American cockroach, many chapters offer a comparative approach in sections where the more recent and exciting research has been accomplished on other species. Most contributors place the cockroach in perspective with regard to its appropriateness or inappropriateness for various types of biological investigations. Many questions are realistically left unanswered when no acceptable or obvious solution is apparent; an invitation to new researchers to consider the cockroach as an experimental subject.

Skittering figures of urban legend—and a ubiquitous reality—cockroaches are nearly as abhorred as they are ancient. Even as our efforts to exterminate them have developed into ever more complex forms of chemical warfare, roaches’ basic design of six legs, two hypersensitive antennae, and one set of voracious mandibles has persisted unchanged for millions of years. But as Richard Schweid shows in The Cockroach Papers, while some species of these evolutionary superstars do indeed plague our kitchens and restaurants, exacerbate our asthma, and carry disease, our belief in their total villainy is ultimately misplaced. Traveling from New York City to Louisiana, Mexico, Nicaragua, and Morocco, Schweid blends stories of his own squirm-inducing roach encounters with meticulous research to spin a tale both humorous and harrowing. As he investigates roaches’ more nefarious interactions with our species—particularly with those of us living at the margins of society—Schweid also explores their astonishing diversity, how they mate, what they’ll eat, and what we’ve written about them (from Kafka and Nelson Algren to archy and mehitabel). Knowledge soon turns into respect, and Schweid looks beyond his own fears to arrive at an uncomfortable truth: We humans are no more peaceful, tidy, or responsible about taking care of the Earth or each other than these tiny creatures that swarm in the dark corners of our minds, homes, and cereal boxes.

Winner at the 2012 International Latino Book Awards. A superbly illustrated original story about the power of loving yourself and finding happiness. This is the story of Anastasia, a cockroach who dreamed of being accepted and becoming famous and important like her distant relatives the Egyptian beetles, sacred insects that everybody treated like royalty. Although it may seem impossible to believe, in another life Anastasia was a princess, transformed by a wave of the magic wand of Fairy Brunhilda, who was determined to sow good wherever she went. But being a princess is not an easy task... Soon Anastasia began to feel out of place. She didn’t like life in the palace too much, and after following exciting adventures, Anastasia came to understand that being a ordinary, everyday cockroach wasn’t such a bad thing after all. Especially when, moved by her great heart, she managed to save the lives of an entire family of humans, everything without getting a hair out of place! What prize did Fairy Brunhilda have in store for her as a reward for her generous actions? Read the first pages of Story of a cockroach here below:

SMARTER COCKROACH BREEDING SOLUTIONS... LESS EFFORT, SMELLS AND ESCAPEES!! Most of us start breeding cockroaches struggling to maintain a messy cleaning routine, bad smells and containing these unruly creatures. After more than a decade of commercial production and experimentation, we have developed innovative new techniques that have halved maintenance, eliminated offensive odour and increased production. These automated, low maintenance systems are tried and tested and will save you time and effort…week in, week out. Whether you want to produce for private or commercial purposes, this definitive guide sets a new benchmark for cockroach breeding for the following reasons: THE MOST INNOVATIVE AND EFFICIENT SYSTEMS... This manual pioneers new and innovative techniques found nowhere else. We have overhauled every aspect of cockroach production… container design, breeding method, making automated food and water dispensers, heating, storage, maintenance, pest management, cleaning, grading, selling, marketing…..and lots more. THE EASIEST TO USE...MORE PHOTOS AND DIAGRAMS More than 145 photos, diagrams and tables, in conjunction with “Step by Step” instructions showing you how to do everything clearly and in an easy to understand format. THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE AVAILABLE... This 100 page guide is the largest and most comprehensive guide available, covering every aspect of private and commercial cockroach breeding in detail. COMMERCIAL EXPERIENCE...TURN AN EXPENSE INTO INCOME!! We have sold cockroaches and crickets commercially to: wildlife parks, zoos, pet stores, wildlife rescue clubs, large scale reptile keepers and the general public...and we are happy to pass on our commercial tips to you. See our “Complete Cricket Breeding Manual” which for the first time allows people to breed crickets with the same effort and consistency as cockroaches. This Guide is also sold on Amazon. This manual is an accumulation of years of experience and experimentation that will provide you with a proven short cut to successful cockroach breeding.
