An oriental cockroach is a common species in many parts of the world. It is characterized by its shiny, dark brown to black coloration and relatively large size compared to other cockroach species. Unlike some other cockroach species, the oriental cockroach is flightless. It prefers dark and damp environments, such as basements, drains, and crawl spaces, and is often found in urban areas. The oriental cockroach has a slow and lumbering movement, primarily active at night. While it can survive on a wide range of organic matter, the oriental cockroach is particularly attracted to decaying food, garbage, and moist areas.
