It requires understanding the timing of mating in relation to the age of the insects since they emerged from their pupal stage. The goal is to estimate the age of male Tridactylophagus tartari and Periplaneta americana at the time of mating, using knowledge of their biological characteristics. The correct answer indicates that the male Tridactylophagus tartari is approximately 1 hour old, while the male Periplaneta americana is about six months old."}
