Before becoming adults cockroaches must go through the egg- and nymphal growth stages. Eggs from female cockroaches are kept in oothecae (resilient egg cases). There is a wide range of nymph sizes in the oothecae for different species of cockroaches. The time required for eggs and nymphs to hatch varies among species. It also depends on environmental conditions. Female cockroaches create egg cases, called oothecae. Oothecae hold many eggs and are protected with a protein coating that hardens over time into a tough, protective shell. Some species of Cockroaches abandon the eggcase, while others carry it until the eggs hatch. The eggs of cockroaches hatch from the combined pressure of their hatchlings. This immature cockroach is also called a Nymph or Baby Cockroach. The initial color of a nymph is bright white. They grow as they take in more air. After a few hours, they will become darker and harder. Cockroach larvae are grayish-brown, and they darken with every molt. The length of the nymphal transition to adult is between months and more than a full year. Cockroach Nymphs are identical to their adult counterparts. Cockroaches nymphs experience a series or molts. After their final moult, they emerge as adults. Once the nymph stage completes, the adult is introduced. By their larger size, and the presence or wings, adults of many species are easily distinguished from nymphs. Some species of cockroaches have wings as adults, including the Madagascar hissing one.
