What is a white roach?

White cockroaches, also known as albino cockroaches, are individuals that lack pigmentation in their exoskeleton. This lack of pigmentation gives them a white or translucent appearance, making them stand out from their brown or black counterparts. White cockroaches are not a separate species, but rather a rare mutation that occurs in some cockroach populations.

These albino cockroaches are typically weaker and more vulnerable to predators and environmental factors due to their lack of camouflage. They are also more sensitive to light, as their translucent exoskeleton offers little protection from the sun's harmful rays.

It is important to note that white cockroaches are not commonly found in the wild, as their lack of pigmentation hinders their survival. They are often kept in controlled laboratory settings for research purposes or observed as a rare anomaly in natural environments.
