The abdomen swells as her eggs develop, until the translucent tip of the ootheca begins to protrude from the end of her abdomen, and by that time the eggs inside are fully sized, about 1/4 inch long with 16 segments. The ootheca, at first translucent, soon turns white and then within a few hours it turns pink, progressively darkening until, some 48 hours later, it attains the dark red-brown of the shell of a chestnut. The ootheca has a keel-like ridge along the line where the young emerge, and curls slightly towards that edge as it completes its maturation. A small percentage of the nymphs may hatch while the ootheca is still attached to the female, but the majority emerge some 24 hours after it has detached from the female's body. The newly hatched 3-mm-long black nymphs then progress through six or seven {{tsl|en|instar|}}s before becoming sexually mature, but {{tsl|en|ecdysis|}} is such a hazardous process that nearly half the nymphs die of natural causes before reaching adulthood. Molted skins and dead nymphs are soon eaten by living nymphs present at the time of molting.<ref name="Ebeling" />

== Pest control ==
The German cockroach is very successful at establishing an <!-- [[ecological niche]] -->[[生态位]] in buildings, and is resilient in the face of many <!-- [[pest-control]] -->[[病虫害防治]] measures. Reasons include:
* lack of natural <!-- [[predator]] -->[[捕食]]s in a human habitat
* prolific reproduction
* short reproductive cycle
* the ability to hide in very small refuges
* sexual maturity attained within several weeks, and
* adaptation and resistance to some <!-- [[chemical pesticides]] -->[[农药]]
German cockroaches are <!-- [[Taxis|thigmotactic]] -->[[趨性]], meaning they prefer confined spaces, and they are small compared to other pest species, so they can hide within small cracks and crevices that are easy to overlook, thereby evading humans and their eradication efforts. Conversely, the seasoned pest controller is alert for cracks and crevices where it is likely to be profitable to place baits or spray surfaces.

To be effective, control measures must be comprehensive, sustained, and systematic; survival of just a few eggs is quite enough to regenerate a nearly exterminated pest population within a few generations, and recolonisation from surrounding populations often is very rapid, too.<ref name="CaliforniaWisconsin1994" />

Another problem in controlling German cockroaches is the nature of their population behaviour. Though they are not social and practise no organised maternal care, females carry oothecae of 18-50 eggs (average about 32) during incubation until just before hatching, instead of dropping them as most other species of cockroaches do. This protects the eggs from certain classes of predation. Then, after hatching, nymphs largely survive by consuming excretions and moults from adults, thereby establishing their own internal microbial populations and avoiding contact with most insecticidal surface treatments and baits. One effective control is insect growth regulators (hydroprene, methoprene, etc.), which act by preventing molting, thus prevent maturation of the various instars. Caulking baseboards and around pipes may prevent the travel of adults from one apartment to another within a building.

[[File:Blatella germanica cdc.jpg|thumb|right|200px|Female German cockroach with {{tsl|en|ootheca|}}]]
As an <!-- [[Adaptation|adaptive]] -->[[適應]] consequence of pest control by poisoned sugar baits, a strain of German cockroaches has emerged that reacts to glucose as distastefully bitter. They refuse to eat sweetened baits, which presents an obstacle to their control, given that baits are an economical and effective means of control. It also is a dramatic illustration of adaptive selection; in the absence of poisoned sweet baits, attraction to sugars strongly promotes growth, energy, and reproduction; cockroaches that are not attracted to sugars take longer to grow and reproduce, whereas in the presence of poisoned sugared baits, sugar avoidance promotes reproduction.<ref>{{Cite journal | last1 = Wada-Katsumata | first1 = A. | last2 = Silverman | first2 = J. | last3 = Schal | first3 = C. | doi = 10.1126/science.1234854 | title = Changes in Taste Neurons Support the Emergence of an Adaptive Behavior in Cockroaches | journal = Science | volume = 340 | issue = 6135 | pages = 972–5 | year = 2013 | pmid = 23704571| pmc = }} ([https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-22611143 summary at BBC News])</ref>

Blattella germanica

德國姬蠊(學名:Blattella germanica),俗稱德國蟑螂,是一個蟑螂物种,身長多為1.0到1.6厘米[1][2][3],比美洲家蠊小。顏色從淺棕色到接近黑色的深棕色,而且在其前胸有兩條由頭部至翅膀末端的直紋。飛行距離並不遠,只有在被搔擾時才會飛[4]

這種蟑螂是最常見的家居蟑螂之一,屬於本目物種少數的有害生物,在全球不少有人居住的地方均有機會找到 [5],但在寒冷的地區則較少。人工养殖只需要2个月即可繁殖一个世代,成虫寿命约为200天[1]。It is very closely related to the Blattella asahinai英语Blattella asahinai, and to the casual observer, the two appear nearly identical and may be mistaken for each other. However, the Asian cockroach is attracted to light and can fly like a moth, while the German cockroach cannot.

Biology and pest status

德國蟑螂很容易在建築物裡紮根,但在餐馆食品加工业設施、酒店安老院等機構設施裡尤為常見。牠們會在裡面建造巢穴,且繁殖速度快,每個卵囊可孵出多隻若蟲,這些若蟲由出生至交配期的所需時間短暫,因此人們難以將之徹底驅除。另外雌性德國蟑螂在產卵期間不會即時把卵囊排出,而是留在體內孵化一段時間,使人們不會發現牠們的卵囊,而將之清除。此外牠們的身型也比其他品種的小,可躲在狹窄的縫隙中,從而避過人們的攻擊。除人們家中飼養的寵物外,這種蟑螂在人類居住地方,其自然天敵非常少。

In cold climates, they occur only near human dwellings, because they cannot survive severe cold. However, though they would soon die in the outdoors on their own, German cockroaches have been found as inquiline英语inquilines ("tenants") of human buildings as far north as 阿勒特.[6] Similarly, they have been found as far south as southern 巴塔哥尼亞.[7]

Previously thought to be a native of Europe, the German cockroach later was considered to have emerged from the region of 埃塞俄比亚 in Northeast Africa,[8][9] but more recent evidence suggests that it actually originated in Southeast Asia.[5][10] Whatever the truth of the matter, the cockroach's sensitivity to cold might reflect its origin from such warm climates, and its spread as a domiciliary pest since ancient times has resulted from incidental human transport and shelter. The species now is Cosmopolitan distribution英语Cosmopolitan distribution in distribution, occurring as a household pest on all continents except Antarctica, and on many major islands, as well. It accordingly has been given various names in the cultures of many regions. For example, although it is widely known as the "German cockroach" in English-speaking countries, in Germany in turn, it is known as the Russian roach.[11]

Though 夜行性, the German cockroach occasionally appears by day, especially if the population is crowded or has been disturbed. However, sightings are most frequent of an evening, when someone suddenly brings a light into a room deserted after dark, such as a kitchen where they have been scavenging.[12] When excited or frightened, the species emits an unpleasant odor.

Diet

German cockroaches are 雜食動物 食腐動物s. They are attracted particularly to meats, 淀粉es, sugars, and fatty foods. Where a shortage of foodstuff exists, they may eat household items such as soap, glue, and toothpaste. In famine conditions, they turn cannibalistic, chewing at each other's wings and legs.[13]

Reproduction

The German cockroach reproduces faster than any other residential cockroach,[14] growing from egg to reproductive adult in roughly 50 – 60 days.[15] Once fertilized, a female German cockroach develops an ootheca英语ootheca in her abdomen. The abdomen swells as her eggs develop, until the translucent tip of the ootheca begins to protrude from the end of her abdomen, and by that time the eggs inside are fully sized, about 1/4 inch long with 16 segments. The ootheca, at first translucent, soon turns white and then within a few hours it turns pink, progressively darkening until, some 48 hours later, it attains the dark red-brown of the shell of a chestnut. The ootheca has a keel-like ridge along the line where the young emerge, and curls slightly towards that edge as it completes its maturation.

German cockroaches are 趨性, meaning they prefer confined spaces, and they are small compared to other pest species, so they can hide within small cracks and crevices that are easy to overlook, thereby evading humans and their eradication efforts. Conversely, the seasoned pest controller is alert for cracks and crevices where it is likely to be profitable to place baits or spray surfaces.

To be effective, control measures must be comprehensive, sustained, and systematic; survival of just a few eggs is quite enough to regenerate a nearly exterminated pest population within a few generations, and recolonisation from surrounding populations often is very rapid, too.[13]

Another problem in controlling German cockroaches is the nature of their population behaviour. Though they are not social and practise no organised maternal care, females carry oothecae of 18-50 eggs (average about 32) during incubation until just before hatching, instead of dropping them as most other species of cockroaches do. This protects the eggs from certain classes of predation. Then, after hatching, nymphs largely survive by consuming excretions and moults from adults, thereby establishing their own internal microbial populations and avoiding contact with most insecticidal surface treatments and baits. One effective control is insect growth regulators (hydroprene, methoprene, etc.), which act by preventing molting, thus prevent maturation of the various instars. Caulking baseboards and around pipes may prevent the travel of adults from one apartment to another within a building.

As an 適應 consequence of pest control by poisoned sugar baits, a strain of German cockroaches has emerged that reacts to glucose as distastefully bitter. They refuse to eat sweetened baits, which presents an obstacle to their control, given that baits are an economical and effective means of control. It also is a dramatic illustration of adaptive selection; in the absence of poisoned sweet baits, attraction to sugars strongly promotes growth, energy, and reproduction; cockroaches that are not attracted to sugars take longer to grow and reproduce, whereas in the presence of poisoned sugared baits, sugar avoidance promotes reproduction.[16]

Genome

The genome of the German cockroach was published in February 2018 in Nature Ecology and Evolution英语Nature Ecology and Evolution.[19] The relatively large genome (2.0 Gb) harbours a very high number of proteins, of which most notably one group of chemoreceptors英语chemoreceptors, called the ionotropic receptors英语ionotropic receptors, is particularly numerous. These chemoreceptors possibly allow the German cockroach to detect a broad range of chemical cues from toxins, food, pathogens, and pheromones.[19]
