AnswerClick to flip back
A
Periplaneta americana
💡 Explanation:
The cockroach's scientific name is Periplaneta americana - this doesn't mean it's from America, but reflects early specimen classification. The Periplaneta genus includes common cockroaches. 'Indicana' and 'africana' are incorrect, and 'antenna' refers to a body part, not a species.
