Madagascar hissing cockroaches
The Madagascar hissing cockroach is also known as the hisser and is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 5 to 7.5 centimetres. As the common name suggests, the Madagascar hissing cockroach is characterized by their hissing sound, which is produced when they forcefully expel air through the specially-adapted respiratory opening.
​
Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless but excellent climbers and can scale smooth glass. Males can be distinguished by their thicker, hairier antennae and the very pronounced "horns".
