with bronchial ailments. The cockroach begins as an egg: The female produces an egg sac which she carries or deposits in a safe place. The young cockroach or "nymph" will undergo a series of molts, shedding it's external skeleton, as it grows to adulthood. The entire life cycle may extend to a few months depending on the species and environmental factors, such as, access to food and moisture, adequate shelter and warm temperatures. Even the cleanest homes get'em: Cockroach pests and their eggs are spread

The American cockroach was introduced to the United States from Africa as early as 1625. They belong to the Kingdom: Animalia, Phylum: Arthropoda, Class: Insecta (Insecta: Blattodea: Blattidae), Order: Dictyoptera, and Family: Blattidae. Its common name is American cockroach and scientific name is Periplaneta Americana (Linnaeus). American cockroaches are normally between one and one and a half inches in length. They are oval shaped and reddish-brow with yellow fringes on the area of the body behind

in the story. Kafka chose symbolical bug to explain his life story. I will probe questions such why a bug? What does the bug represent? How Kafka related Gregor’s life to his. Since Kafka does not give an explicit reason about why he chose a cockroach for his story, perhaps it is just an image of his life. Kafka wrote The Metamorphosis as result of his life. “He was never quite satisfied with his relationships with women or with his family.” (Kafka 1878). As we understand from the text, Kafka

different. The angel was described as an old scruffy man with very large wings. Gregor on the other hand was a human man that had completely turned into a bug. There were no physical human characteristics to Gregor once he had turned into a large cockroach. The other characters in the stories also treated the Gregor and the old man very differently. The people in “The Very Old Man with Enormous Wings”, seemed to be a lot more fascinated by the angel than scared of him. People wanted to see the angel

Analysis: Gromphadorhina portentosa, commonly known as the hissing cockroach, lives within the tropical lowland rainforests of Madagascar among the dry litter on the forest floor. While multiple species of cockroaches have slender like feet, the hissing cockroach has pads and hooks (Figure 3, shows the adaptive hooks/visual description of cockroach). A young cockroach, a nymph, undergoes a process called metamorphosis where its shell sheds periodically to allow for growth. The process evolved approximately

It’s the middle of the night. You’re hungry. You go to the kitchen and turn on the light. Suddenly, you step on something crunchy. You bend down to take a look. It is a cockroach! In New York City, in all homes and buildings, cockroaches abound. Just like its human residents, New York City 's roaches are among the most diverse in the world. Cockroaches have been around for millions of years, evolving into some of the most adaptable pests on Earth. And no matter how hard exterminators try, the stubborn

are no economic importance, inhabiting the floor of tropical, caves, rain forests, deserts, etc (Lee & Ng 2009). 2.1.2 Physical characteristics Most cockroaches are light brown to black color to suit their cryptic, habitat and nocturnal behavior. Cockroach body is typically oval and flattened dorsal-ventrally. This type of shape allows it to squeeze through as well as escape into narrow hole or cracks and spaces in litter, walls and rocks. Body parts of cockroaches can be divided into three parts which

The big German cockroaches took over the apartment in Oakland, Cali-fornia on East 18th Street, especially when ICE Medina cooked her great meals for her only child daughter, Racine Medina Starr. As a conscientious mother ICE tried to ward off pests by spraying, and by extermination. The roaches were immune to those processes and were here to stay. Even when there was only enough food for her daughter – ICE made sure she put her foot in her sparse creations. Roach spray didn’t deter this brand of

Knowledge of the target pest’s biological characteristics, and the genetics and mechanisms of pesticide resistance in the pest is essential in pest management programs. However, despite our rapidly increasing knowledge of the biochemical and molecular nature of resistance, it seems that management strategies still rely largely on common sense and practical tactics even though different resistance mechanisms may be present (Horowitz and Denholm 2001). Unfortunately, in the majority of these cases
