Definitions from the WebGender of CockroachDescription:The gender of cockroaches refers to the sexual characteristics that distinguish between male and female individuals of this insect species. Cockroaches exhibit sexual dimorphism, where males and females differ in physical features and reproductive organs. Senses:1.

For example, in French, "cafard" (cockroach) has a masculine grammatical gender, while "blatte" (another term for cockroach) has a feminine grammatical gender. Sample Sentences:1. Some studies suggest that female cockroaches tend to live longer than their male counterparts. 2. The male cockroach used its specialized reproductive organs to fertilize the eggs laid by the female. 3. In French, "le cafard" (the cockroach) is masculine, while "la blatte" is feminine.
