Cockroach (fēi láng) is a general name for a class of insects, also known as moths or moth-like insects. Cockroach does not refer to a specific type of insect, but a general term for a variety of Lepidopteran insects. Therefore, cockroaches include a large group of insects, such as hawkmoths, ruler moths, moths, etc. Their bodies are generally covered with tiny scales. This feature is one of the main features of Lepidoptera insects.

These insects vary in body shape, color, ecological habits, and distribution range. Some cockroaches are diurnal, while others are nocturnal. They are also widely distributed around the world in huge numbers and include many species. Some are considered pests, such as food borers, while others are given beautiful insect names.
