What Do Cockaroches Eat?!
Answers: I want to know what Cockaroaches Eat and there main source of food.
Any of more than 3,500 insect species (in suborder Blattaria, order Dictyoptera) that are among the most primitive living, winged insects and among the oldest (more than 320 million years old) fossil insects. Cockroaches have a flattened, oval body; long, threadlike antennae; and a shining, leathery, black or brown covering. They prefer a warm, humid, dark environment and are usually found in tropical or other mild climates, but have become widespread in heated buildings, especially city apartment buildings, in the temperate zone, and infestations can be severe. Only a few species have become pests. Cockroaches eat both animal and plant material. The American cockroach is up to about 2 in. (30 – 50 mm) long. The German cockroach (less than 0.5 in., or about 12 mm, long) is a common household pest which has been spread throughout the world by ship.
Cockroaches are omnivores, like us. For the most part they will eat anything organic. Mostly they eat dead or immobile things. As indicated elsewhere in the FAQ, they rarely bite a human but might nibble on a sore in the middle of the night when an animal is sleeping.
They will eat the glue off the back of postage stamps and the glue bindings off the backs of books, traditional glue being derived from animal protein.

Cockroaches are found everywhere in the world except the polar ice caps. We mostly think of them as living in people's homes and scurrying out at night to scavenge leftover crumbs. Although they have a bad reputation as household pests, in reality only about a dozen species are pests to humans. This is less than 2% of all the species of cockroaches. Some roaches spend part of their lives in water. There are roaches that live communally with ants, wasps, and termites. Other roaches live in bat caves. A few live in the desert. However, most cockroaches live in warm, tropical habitats where they put their scavenging skills to good use feeding on living and dead plant and animal material and have a positive impact on their environment as recyclers.
