Best Answer

The American cockroach (Periplaneta americana), is the largest species of common cockroach, particularly in the southern United States and California, growing to be the size of a giant weta and weighing as much as a small sparrow. Even though it is called the American cockroach it is native to Africa and can be found all over the world, especially under kitchen sinks. Much like the little brown bat, the American cockroach is an avid flier. It often flies to obtain food in hard to reach places. Since they have wings, they are often considered "pests" and can live up to ten years.
