Abstract
An interesting difference between male and female wood roaches is that females possess rudimentary wings and therefore are incapable of flying. The winged males are swift fliers and capable of prolonged flights over considerable distance. And unlike most cockroaches which scurry away from light, male wood roaches are attracted towards light sources. Outdoor and indoor lighting will attract males to homes where they are frequently seen crawling on the sides of houses, and on porch and deck areas.
