Cockroaches are insects of the Order Blattodea. There are roughly 3,500 species in 6 families. Cockroaches exist worldwide, with the exception of the polar regions and in elevations above 2,000m (6,500ft). The word cockroach derives from the Spanish cucaracha, meaning chafer, beetle. The most well-known species are: the American cockroach, Periplaneta americana, German cockroach, Blattella germanica, and the Asian cockroach, Blattella asahinai. Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger. Extinct cockroaches such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were several times larger.
