American cockroaches have three developmental stages: egg, nymph, and adult. [13] Females produce an egg case which protrudes from the tip of the abdomen. On average, females produce 9–10 oothecae, although they can sometimes produce as many as 90. After about two days, the egg cases are placed on a surface in a safe location.
Illustration of Evania appendigaster (lower right) and its pupa (upper right) as parasitoids of the American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) The female wasp lays an egg inside the roach ootheca (egg case), and the wasp larva hatches quickly and consumes the roach eggs. A single egg is laid per ootheca, into a host egg in some Evaniidae, and ...
Cockroaches live up to a year, and the female may produce up to eight egg cases in a lifetime; in favorable conditions, she can produce 300 to 400 offspring. Other species of cockroaches, however, can produce far more eggs; in some cases a female needs to be impregnated only once to be able to lay eggs for the rest of her life. [27]

Only some varieties want to come inside, but here’s how to prevent them from doing so.
Oothecae are made up of structural proteins and tanning agents that cause the protein to harden around the eggs, providing protection and stability. [1] The production of ootheca convergently evolved across numerous insect species due to a selection for protection from parasites and other forms of predation, as the complex structure of the shell casing provides an evolutionary reproductive ...
