Eublaberus posticus, the orange head cockroach, is a species of cockroach native to Central and South America.[1]

Behaviour

Female individuals of E. posticus have been known to survive for up to 360 days on just water.[2] They mate just after hatching, once the wings have expanded but before the cuticle has hardened. Females have been known to kick at the intersexual junction during intercourse.[3]
