A dorsal-view scientific illustration of an adult cockroach displaying external morphology. The organism is Periplaneta americana (P. americana), the American cockroach, an insect in the phylum Arthropoda. Shown in entomology and comparative anatomy context, the figure highlights the head with long filiform antennae, a shield-like pronotum on the prothorax, longitudinally veined tegmina (forewings) covering the dorsal thorax and abdomen, and three pairs of thoracic legs. Functionally, the tegmina protect the hind wings and abdomen, the antennae mediate chemosensory input, and the exoskeleton provides structural support and locomotor leverage.
