    No, they really do lay eggs (A Ph.D. entomologist pointed them out to
me).  The egg sacs (many eggs are in a single sac) are a light gray/brown
color.  The ones that were pointed out to me were fairly large (for
roaches)--around 3/16 of an inch in overall diameter.  The roach nymphs
hatch out in a short time--within about two weeks.  (I suspect that all of
these parameters vary depending on the kind of roach--I believe that our
roaches were German cockroaches.)

    Maybe we should move this discussion to rec.roaches?  :-)
