The nature of small cockroaches

The cockroach is characterized by having a flat shape, an oval body, six legs, two large eyes and two long sensing horns, and its color is brown and has transparent wings.

Cockroaches are one of the biting insects that use their jaws together to eat food, and they have front jaws that they use together to cut food and they are called the grinder, and they also have back jaws that are less powerful than the front ones to transport food to the throat.

Cockroaches can remain without food for two whole months, and they can withstand not drinking water for two weeks, and they can form their own immunity that makes them withstand various diseases, and we advise in the event of contact with humans to wash his body and hand completely.

Female cockroaches can lay eggs throughout their life as a result of meeting with the male only once, and the female emits a fragrant smell during the mating period, and is considered as announcing her readiness to mate, and through the antennae the males pick up that smell.

Facts about small cockroaches

Cockroaches have strange and strange facts that are difficult to believe, even though they are ugly insects and cause many diseases, and their presence is not desirable in the house. Among these facts are the following:
Cockroaches have existed on the face of the earth for more than 250 million years, and they can survive and exist despite the five waves of extinction that animals and insects have been subjected to, which caused the disappearance of most creatures, but as usual, cockroaches survive.
This is because cockroaches are able to hold their breath for a full 40 minutes until they search for a safe place to hide away from dangers or any other damage such as atomic or nuclear radiation.
Also, one of the interesting and surprising facts is the existence of a mutual feeling between cockroaches and humans, which is a feeling of disgust, since just as humans disgust with cockroaches, so cockroaches disgust with humans and clean themselves in their hiding places if they come into contact with humans.
One of the facts that many people do not know and is very strange is that cockroaches do not have eyes and do not see the dangers surrounding them, and they have instead of antennas that sense everything around them in order to protect themselves from dangers.
Cockroaches breathe through small holes in their body shell. They do not have a nose or lungs. Therefore, cockroaches can live without a head for several weeks, but they die of starvation when they do not reach their mouth to cut off their head in that mouth.
Cockroaches can live for a long period of time, for two reasons: they feed on anything such as paper, soap, leather, human food and wood, and they produce immunomodulators that can resist the strongest dangers.
Female cockroaches reproduce by laying eggs that she can give birth to for life if she meets the male once, and cockroaches can also adapt to all different environments and regions, such as rainforests or dry deserts and even polar regions.
Cockroaches do not have a heart like other living creatures, so they do not suffer from heart disease and do not feel tired, but they have tubes that move the blood circulation in two different directions, and therefore they can withstand hunger and stay without any food for more than a month.
Cockroaches have the ability to compress their size to 15 mm and escape in a tube with a diameter of 5 mm, and they can run at a speed of 5 km per hour, and therefore cockroaches are durable creatures.
Cockroaches are not one species, but many types of cockroaches, and the most famous types that are found in the house are: the German cockroach, the American cockroach, the brown cockroach and the oriental cockroach.
