I did a mini experiment with Zeus and Hercules. I put dark paper on one side of a shoe box, and white paper on the other side. Then I dumped the cockroaches into the middle, covered the top with plastic wrap (w/ holes punched) to keep them in, and put a like over the black paper half. I left the cockroaches for 1/2 hr. When I came back black paper had fallen on top of Zeus and he was quite happy on the dark side. Hercules had stayed on the light side, but if you look closely he is in the shaded portion of it.
So, from this observation, I would conclude that cockroaches prefer dark or shady environments.
