Cockroach Eggs and Egg Cases

Cockroaches don't lay eggs, but rather they carry a large number of eggs in an egg case which remains attached to their body until it is nearly ready to hatch.

The egg case is then glued to a surface or simply dropped in a convenient place where food is prevalent.

• Food labels
• Pretty much anything you can think of...
