hello.

the order "Blattodea" and the family "Blaberidae" are not in the BugFiles.
i would like to add the Suriname Cockroach because it is a pest in the Gulf Coast and Southern Subtropical areas.

thanks

There are conflicting views of the correct classification of the cockroaches. We set up BugFiles with the Order Dictyoptera which combines the Cockroaches and the Mantises. Other systems use Dictyoptera as a Superorder, within which the Cockroaches and Mantises have separate Order; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dictyoptera.
You should therefore add the Surinam Cockroach in the Order Dictyoptera, Family Blaberidae,
