Life Cycle Stages:
Egg
Nymph
Adult
The life cycle of a cockroach begins with an egg, which is laid in a small capsule called an ootheca. The ootheca is typically attached to a surface, such as a wall or a piece of furniture.
The eggs hatch into nymphs, which are very small and resemble adult cockroaches in shape. The nymphs molt several times as they grow, and after each molt, they become larger and more similar to adults.
After several molts, the nymphs mature into adults. Adult cockroaches are the largest and most mature stage of the life cycle. They are capable of mating and reproducing, and they live for several months.
