The Lord Howe Island wood-feeding cockroach (Panesthia lata) is listed as endangered by the New South Wales Scientific Committee, but the cockroach may be extinct on Lord Howe Island itself. The introduction of rats, the spread of Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) and fires are possible reasons for their scarcity. [111]
The workers forage for food which they bring back to the colony to feed the reproductives and the developing young. [16] Cockroaches are also social insects but do not live in colonies, and all adults are able to reproduce. Some species form aggregations, others show an inclination to aggregate, and some exhibit parental care of their offspring ...
Cockroach gels are a type of roach bait that is becoming increasingly popular due to their ease of use and effectiveness. Gels are typically applied in small dabs in areas where cockroaches are active, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and behind appliances. The gel contains a food attractant that entices cockroaches to feed on it.
The gut contents of the cockroach, depending on its diet, may provide essential nutrients unavailable from a cockroach with an empty gut. [15] Vitamin and mineral content in studied cockroaches was well represented except for low calcium:phosphorus ratios typical in cockroaches, and relatively low vitamin A and E in captive cockroaches.

Insect pheromones have a highly species-specific effect, meaning that they elicit the desired behavioral response only in biological specificity but not in individuals of other species. For example, although the chemical compounds that act as sex pheromones in butterflies may be the same in different species, the composition of the pheromone ...
The common roach eats a wide range of foods, from plant material, bottom-dwelling invertebrates, to worms and maggots. Young fish feed mainly on plankton, until they are of a size to use a wider diet. Roach can adapt to environments where invertebrates are scarce by slowing their growth, maintaining slender body shapes, and maturing early.
The city recently approved $7.7 million in new contracts for the operation of these motels, funding them through June. They were originally opened as shelters during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Situations that may change how an insect behaves in reaction to a scent are things like the concentration of the compound, the life stage of the insect, its mating status, other olfactory cues, the insects feeding state (hungry or full), the time of day, or even the insects body position.
