These creatures are generally 1.4 to 1.6 inches long, but some can even reach over 2 inches in length. You can identify them by their reddish-brown colour and the distinctive yellow band behind their head. In addition, these insects have wings that allow them to fly short distances.
Male cockroaches have shorter wings than females. Their wings only extend a little past the tip of their abdomen, while female wings match the length of their abdomen. Meanwhile, baby cockroaches, or nymphs, resemble adults but are smaller and lack wings.
