Which statement about brownbanded roaches is true?

• A. It is common in Florida
• B. It glues eggs in clusters
• C. It can fly
• D. It is never found indoors

Answer: (B)

Brownbanded roaches have a distinctive egg-laying habit: they produce an ootheca (egg case) and glue it to a surface in a cluster rather than carrying it around or dropping it in open spaces. This behavior means you’ll often find several eggs grouped together, tucked away in tight spots like behind picture frames, under appliances, or in other protected nooks. That clustered, glued egg arrangement is a reliable sign of brownbanded roaches and guides how to target infestations. While these roaches are common in warm indoor environments and can have wings, the defining detail you’re testing here is the way they attach eggs in clusters.
