Madagascar hissing cockroach

The Madagascar hissing cockroach is a cockroach that has red wings and a red body. Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless. They are excellent climbers and can scale smooth glass. Males can be distinguished from females by their thicker, hairier  antennae  and the pronounced "horns" on the  pronotum. Females carry the ootheca  (egg case) internally, and release the young nymphs only after the eggs have hatched. As in some other wood-inhabiting roaches, the parents and offspring will commonly remain in close physical contact for extended periods of time. In captivity, these insects can live 5 years. They feed primarily on vegetable material.
