The scientific family name for typical cockroaches, one of the most successful insect families on Earth.
From Latin blatta (cockroach) plus the scientific suffix -idae, which designates a taxonomic family. This naming convention was standardized by Carl Linnaeus and later taxonomists.
Cockroaches in the family Blattidae are evolutionary survivors—they've existed essentially unchanged for over 300 million years, making them older than dinosaurs and among Earth's most successful animals.
