Cockroaches Order Blattodea
Ancient, resilient insects photographed beyond the familiar stereotypes.
Cockroaches are among the oldest and most adaptable insect groups on Earth. This collection reveals their armour-like bodies, sensory antennae, wing structures and remarkable diversity through detailed macro photography.

Survivors shaped by millions of years.
Cockroaches are far more varied and specialised than their reputation suggests.
Their flattened bodies allow them to move through narrow spaces, while long antennae constantly sample their surroundings for movement, chemicals and changes in air pressure.
Many species inhabit forests, caves, leaf litter and tropical habitats, where they play important roles in breaking down organic material and recycling nutrients.
Under magnification, their intricate surface textures, leg spines, compound eyes and wing structures reveal an unexpectedly complex and visually striking anatomy.
