The oriental cockroach, also known as the waterbug, is a large species of cockroach, adult males being 0.71 – 1.14 inches and adult females being 0.79 – 1.06 inches. It is dark brown to black in color and has a glossy body. The female oriental cockroach has a somewhat different appearance from the male, appearing to be wingless at casual glance but has two very short and useless wings just below her head. She has a wider body than the male. The male has long wings, which cover two thirds of the abdomen and are brown in color, and has a narrower body. The odd male is capable of very short flights, ranging about 2 to 3 meters.
