The American cockroach can fly and is found in coastal Australia, and frequently inhabits drains. A common feature of flying cockroaches is that they are all outdoor cockroaches, found in coastal areas.

The ootheca (egg case) containing up to 16 eggs is conveyed by the female for a few days before being stored. At times, these egg cases are cemented down and tend to be grouped. It brings forth in 1 to 2 months. Nymphs more often than not produce in 6 weeks to annually, yet it can take as long as 15 months.

In spite of their size, these cockroaches move incredibly fast, and can dart out beneath the entryways and into genuinely little cracks.
