What is a female cockroach called?

It occurred to me that if you look at a peacock, the female is known as a peahen. A female gamecock is called a gamehen.

Even the basic chicken has the male roostercock (I know c*ck, but this site censors the word) and the hen.

So would a female cockroach be known as a henroach? Or is that only for birds?

    You know large and useful animals people care about them and give their males & female different names, but in animals of limited use people dont care giving tow names ,so the locust is a locust for both sexes and so the cockroach, the ant the butterfly.

    I tried to find the answer in Wikipedia however it just refers to a female as a cockroach. I think because bugs (insects) are so small you can't tell there gender by just looking at them?
