The female reproductive system of cockroach consists of two large ovaries. The ovaries lie laterally in the second to sixth abdominal segments. Each ovary is formed of a group of eight ovarian tubules or ovarioles. They contain a chain of developing ova. Oviducts from each ovary unite into a single median oviduct. This is also called vagina and it opens into the genital chamber. A pair of spermatheca is present in the sixth segment, which opens into the genital chamber
