Bodenheimer (Animal Life in Palestine, 1935) has this to say: The Mediterranean species (Periplaneta furcata, Loboptera decipiens, Hololampra trivittata) pass the winter as large larvae and moult into adults in the spring. During the day they hide on the ground among leaves etc., or beneath stones. In the humid kitchens of old houses in Jerusalemthe large, dark red-brown Oriental cockroach (Blatta orientalis) is quite common. The female is wingless. P. americana lays an average of 20 egg-capsules. (46 maximum) with 15 eggs in each. their development is interrupted during the winter. Below a temperature of 23°C oviposition practically stops. In Tel Aviv the hatching of the American Cockroach took place only from May to October
