The Central American giant cave cockroach (''Blaberus giganteus'') is a cockroach belonging to the family Blaberidae. ==Description== ''B. giganteus'' is considered one of the largest cockroaches in the world, with males growing to reach lengths of 7.5 cm and females 10 cm.〔Huang. C. Y., Sabree, Z. L. and Moran, N.A. 2012. Genome Sequence of Blattabacterium sp. Strain BGIGA, Endosymbiont of the Blaberus giganteus Cockroach. Journal of Bacteriology. 194: 4450-4451.〕〔 Huang. C.

Journal of Bacteriology. 194: 4450-4451.〕 These cockroaches are lightly built with flattened bodies, allowing them to hide in cracks from predators. Their bodies are brown with black markings. 〔 The wingspan of these insects is usually 5-6 in. 〔(Allpet Roaches )〕 Both males and females bear paired appendages (cerci) on the last abdominal segment, but only the males have a pair of tiny hair-like appendages called styli. Adults bear two pairs of wings folding back over the abdomen.〔 Stephen W. Bullington (Biology and Captive-Breeding of the Giant Cockroach Blaberus giganteus )〕 The heavier females are less likely to fly. These cockroaches are closely related to the first winged insects that lived in the Carboniferous coal forests about 200 million years ago. 〔
