Blattodea is an order of insects that contains cockroaches and termites. [3] Formerly, termites were considered a separate order, Isoptera , but genetic and molecular evidence suggests they evolved from within the cockroach lineage, cladistically making them cockroaches as well. [ 4 ]
The Blattodea include some thirty species of cockroaches associated with humans; these species are atypical of the thousands of species in the order. [71] Of those thirty species, four are most commonly encountered as pests: the German cockroach ( Blattella germanica ), American cockroach ( Periplaneta americana ), oriental cockroach ( Blatta ...
Blattoidea is a superfamily of cockroaches and termites in the order Blattodea. There are about 17 families and more than 4,100 described species in Blattoidea. [1] [2] The 12 families of termites are sometimes considered members of the suborder Isoptera, but recent phylogenetic analysis places them within the cockroach superfamily Blattoidea.
Ectobiidae (formerly Blattellidae) [1] [2] is a family of the order Blattodea (cockroaches). This family contains many of the smaller common household pest cockroaches, among others. They are sometimes called wood cockroaches. [3] A few notable species include:

The Florida woods cockroach (Eurycotis floridana) is a large cockroach species which typically grows to a length of 30–40 mm (1.2–1.6 in). [2] When alarmed, adults can eject an extremely foul-smelling directional spray up to one metre (3.3 ft), [3] which inspired several of its other common names: Florida skunk roach, Florida stinkroach, skunk cockroach, skunk roach, stinking cockroach ...
