Parcoblatta is often mistakenly feared or dismissed as mere pests. Contrary to common belief, not all Parcoblatta species thrive in urban environments; many prefer the solitude of woodlands and are crucial to ecological recycling. These cockroaches decompose forest litter, playing a pivotal role in nutrient cycling, thus supporting the forest's health and growth.
