🪳German cockroach

Blattella germanica (Linnaeus, 1767)

A baratinha ou barata-germânica (Blatella germanica) é uma espécie de barata. É um inseto da ordem Blattodea, da família Blattellidae, doméstico e cosmopolita. A espécie possui pequeno tamanho, coloração castanho-clara, com duas faixas longitudinais escuras no pronoto (primeiro esclerito do protórax). Também é conhecida pelos nomes de barata-alemã, barata-loira, barata-francesa, baratinha-francesa e francesinha. Do pequeno número de baratas que são consideradas pragas domésticas, a barata-germânica é um dos casos mais preocupantes. Mede entre 10–15 mm de comprimento e é originária da região sul da Ásia. Possuí um par de asas, e embora não possa voar, costuma agita-las quando se sente ameaçada.
