Worth noting here is that a nuclear war severe enough to wipe out humanity would also result in severe worldwide nuclear winter, making it a particularly devastating apocalypse for any heat-loving creature. With no humans - and more to the point, no artificial heating - around, cockroach populations would plummet fairly swiftly in temperate and colder areas once winter sets in. Further, as pointed out in Life After People, cockroaches are tropical to semi-tropical insects: their current extensive range is a consequence of humans heating their homes and businesses. Unfortunately for popular culture, it turns out that cockroaches have higher resistance to a sudden lethal burst, but are as subject to long-term fallout as most life. This trope was frequent during the Cold War, when people feared that The End of the World as We Know It was near, and it was also discovered that cockroaches have much higher radiation resistance than human beings. This species generally is or has evolved from a small, humble life form, often (though not necessarily) the cockroach. Very common in post-apocalyptic fiction or in events happening in the distant future, when no more humans are around and a new species has taken over the world.
