Unless you're an entymologist, it doesn't sound like a very exciting paper. However, if you feel you can make a good case for the similarities and differences between cockroaches and beetles (note spelling), then go for it.
Ok so maybe I should pick another subject but what ?
compare anything.

What about in shoes: pumps vs highheels.

The purpose of the essay is to get you to learn to compare and contrast.
thank you bobpursley I love shoes so this will be a great topic
For a college level paper, you could compare and contrast:

two of Poe's stories
two different vacation places
Canada and the U.S.
two different fast food restaurants
lap top and desk top computers
home care and nursing home care for the infirm aged
Vietnam War and war in Iraq and Afghanistan
North and South prior to the Civil War

As Bob said, compare anything.
