The Biotic Associations of Cockroaches

Louis Marcus Roth and Edwin R. Willis

The cockroach is far older and stranger than its bad reputation suggests. Louis Roth surveys the many species and the ecological company they keep, from the predators that hunt them to the microbes that live within them. A surprisingly rich portrait of one of the planet's most successful insects. Look past the shudder and meet the roach as a naturalist does.
