​

Answer 1

$\huge \sf \red{Answer}$

The American Cockroach, despite its name, is not native to North America but was most probably introduced via ships from Africa. It is currently worldwide in distribution.

Answer 2

Answer:

The American cockroach is perhaps the most cosmopolitan peridomestic pest species. Together with other closely related Periplaneta species, P. americana is believed to have spread from tropical Africa to North America and the Caribbean on ships engaged in slave trading. Today this species infests most of the lower latitudes of both hemispheres and extends significantly into the more temperate regions of the world.
