Cockroaches are fast running insects probably closely related to termites (Isoptera ). The oval body is dorso-ventrally flattened and most of the head is hidden from dorsal view by the large pronotum. The antennae are long and filamentous. Most taxa have wings, in at least one sex, but they are not always functional. They do not undergo metamorphosis and the young are miniature copies of the adult.
