About this book

This definitive volume provides a complete overview of suborder Blattaria, highlighting the diversity of these amazing insects in their natural environments.

Beginning with a foreword by E. O. Wilson, Cockroaches: Ecology, Behavior, and Natural History explores the fascinating 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 aspects of cockroach biology, such as the relationship between cockroaches and microbes, termites as social cockroaches, and the ecological impact of the suborder.

With over 100 illustrations, an expanded glossary, and an invaluable set of references, Cockroaches: Ecology, Behavior, and Natural History is destined to become the classic book on the Blattaria. Students and research entomologists can mine each chapter for new ideas, new perspectives, and new directions for future study.
