Egg size depends on the species. Those big tree roaches (Palmetto bugs for
you FL folks) have an egg case about 3/8" long, dark brown.

Aarghh!!! I'm almost afraid to ask, but how big is an adult tree roach?

Most of the big ones I see are about 2 inches, maybe a bit bigger if I
was generous with the antennae and wing tips.

The ones who land on you when you least expect are around 4 inches
and even bigger when it's dark, I swear....but if I pin mounted one of
these huge beasts and put a measure to it... it might be a bit over 2.

....now the wharf roaches in Fiji. They are as big as puppy dogs.
