Order Blattaria
Order Blattaria (or Blattodea) consists of cockroaches and their descendants, in particular termites.
Cockroaches are perhaps the most familiar and hated of all insects. However, only a few are unwelcome pests to houses. Cockroaches have survived with a body design that is unchanged for millions of years.
