Summary "This volume provides a detailed overview of the approximately 4,000 species within the suborder Blattaria. Beginning with a foreword by E.O. Wilson, the book then explores the 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 topics such as the relationship between cockroaches and microbes, termites as social cockroaches, and the ecological impact of the suborder."--Jacket.
