The time to reproductive maturity is significantly reduced because of viviparity. This enhancement of larval development provides a 60-fold whole body increase in protein during embryonic development. The viviparity of this cockroach species involves the rapid development of embryos that are capable of drinking and storing complex nutrients concentrated in crystalline form.1 | The time to reproductive maturity is significantly reduced because of viviparity.

The milk protein owes its origins to the viviparity of the Pacific beetle cockroach Diploptera punctate.[1]
