Baby cockroaches develop within a few days of a mother laying eggs. A single egg sac may yield hundreds of small roaches, which mature in a matter of months. These newborn roaches are unlikely to wander far in quest of food until they have developed at least partly. With simply a few cockroaches in a house, an infestation may swiftly grow.

These infants, or nymphs if you prefer, begin extremely little, around the size of the period at the end of this sentence. They have the same dark brown hue as their parents, but their bodies are lighter in the center and darker around the borders. After a few of molts, they grow the adults' distinctive twin black vertical stripes down the back. Unlike adults, nymphs lack wings.
However, other cockroaches have just vestigial wings, meaning they do not utilize them to fly. Other species, such as the German cockroach, have wings but undeveloped flight muscles, which means they glide rather than fly. And although the common American cockroach can fly, they choose to sprint at a rate that would leave even a cheetah for dead.
Adult cockroaches are identified by yellow lines on their bodies. On the other hand, baby cockroaches lack these lines. Apart from their 3 mm length, they have a smooth body. When you get up up and personal with these unwanted creatures crawling about your kitchen, bathroom, or other areas of your home, avoid making the mistake of thinking they are something new, such as a sort of beetle you have never seen before. To be honest, these creatures may pave the way for an infestation in your house.
