They are the only ovoviviparous cockroach family.{{cite web | url=https://www.ecologycenter.us/cockroach-species/ovoviviparity.html | title=Ovoviviparity - Cockroach Species | date=2 March 2023 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.britannica.com/animal/Blaberidae | title=Blaberidae | insect family | Britannica }} The ootheca is seen very briefly before being retracted into the body, where soon after the young nymphs hatch inside, the female gives live birth. The cerci are smaller compared to other families, and most of the time are covered by wings.For the Love of Cockroaches: Husbandry, Biology, and History of Pet and Feeder Blattodea They're mostly found in caves, rotting logs or buried under leaf litter.
