Cockroaches Good For Environment, Biologists Say
www.huffingtonp...
"The sight of a cockroach makes just about every American shudder... These fears drive us to kill, kill, kill, and wish death upon the whole genus. But what if - through some means more effective than a nuclear bomb - cockroaches really were wiped out? Could we then rest easy? Or do we, in fact, somehow need these monstrous vermin?"
"Zombie" Roaches Lose Free Will Due To Wasp Venom

"Unable to fight back, the "zombie" cockroach can be pulled into the wasp's underground lair, where an egg is laid in its abdomen. The larva later hatches and eats the still living but incapacitated cockroach from the inside out."
Cockroach Inspires Robotic Hand To Get A Grip
www.insidescie...
"No one thinks twice about picking up a cup of coffee, but this task has vexed robots for three decades. A new type of mechanical hand developed by researchers at Harvard and Yale promises to solve this problem.
In a makeover inspired by cockroach legs, the engineers chose not to make their robotic hand smarter, but to redesign its form to suit a dumb robot."

can the 99.7% of cockroaches come get the 0.3% that live in my house
You want that many roaches to enter your home?
+madmoblin she said 99.7% of cockroaches live away from humans. so I said come get the .3% that lives in my house
BeenThuggen But their still entering your house to get the smaller amount out.
+madmoblin now I see what your saying lol. 99.6% can wait outside while .1% gets them
Ah.
I still think Noah shouldn't have let them on the Ark

Those fuckers We're definatly not invited.
I agree
They probably snuck on
They used to look like praying mantises 350M yrs ago
Cockroaches, you little buggers, I don't think I'll ever squish another of your kind again. Unless you're in my home in which case you will be brutally tenderized into a fine, rich paste slathered on the underside of a flip-flop.
but what if that one cockroach is pregent and you squash it ,and the babys are still alive just in the form of past won't there just be a endless roach cycle

nemsis turboverdirve when I see any kind of bug/insect I simply catch it & move far away from my house

"Why do cockroaches even exist?" To scare the shit out of people when flying.
But seriously, I've always thought of them as a failsafe if an event that causes mass extinction of life on earth happens. They're extremely tough and would even survive a nuclear fallout so I feel like I'm not far off.
xD
That's a palmetto bug
cocroachs are Satan's butt plugs
I hate them with a passion and I fear them
My charger wire rubbed against my leg while watching this and made me jump

A few years ago I was sitting in my chair and thought I felt my cats whiskers touch me, it wasn’t, it was a huge cockroach, when i tell you i bolted tf out of there and cried in the corner bc wtf

True, but it is pretty cool.

Wasps suck because they kill bees, and without bees humans die

Am I the only person that absolutely, positively, without a shadow-of-a-fucking-doubt hates cockroaches...but, thinks spiders are freakin cool?
Cockroaches 1. Are pests that literally LOVE to hang around humans, and will eat your food, and scatter their poop and bacteria all over your home. 2. Are fucking FAST. Like, turn on the lights and they scatter like hell spawn. 3. Will crawl on you. 4. Will FLY AT YOU.
Spiders are just lone hunters trying to catch some tasty bugs. They don't want your food and are terrified of you. They will only bite you if you accidentally sit on/step on/squash them. Also, spider webs are really marvelous creations. And some spiders are super colorful and have intricate markings.
the only thing roaches are good for are feeding more deserving predators
Same

Bradley D'souza ...and don't you forget it.
i just killed one and next day it was gone like WTF
now it lives for vengeance
Ants ate them.
You didn’t clean it up after killing it 😖

yeah, the flying ones even more
Ugh I hate roaches, the thing that's scares me the most is them crawling over me at night. luckily I haven't seen one in my household in a year

Did you know, that if a human touches a cockroach, the cockroach will run away and clean itself.
Bit of a silly title. Why does any life exist?
JKerman511 a chemical reaction?
First of all there is no literal reason for mosquitos. Why do they exist is the real question
This video exists because people want to know why these shitty things exist.
Lol
Cause big bang and stuff
NOOO!! STOP! I KEEP GETTING THIS FEELING THAT ONE IS CRAWLING ON MY BACK!! *Shivers*
Yes!!! Holy shit, when I get that feeling it's always a 50-50 chance there's actually one crawling on me... :(
+Holo The Hogan Johnson i cringe when i read your comment D:
OMG SAME!!!
That's because there is one crawling on your back and inside your ear canal lol.
That's probably because there is.
There's probably some under your covers waiting for you to go to bed right now too...
Why do people even exist?

Don't mind me, a cockroach just flew into my face this morning that's why i'm here
I can't even watch this video. Cockroaches freak me out
Whoa, I always think what is the benefit of Cockroaches more than to scare people but now it seems we need to get learned that everything that created in this world have their positive reason why they're exist. Thank you for the information!
I prefer the forest cockroach than a house cockroach which is dirty as hell
I don't like to step on them because when I do it makes a crunchy sound
Me too , so i get my dad's bigest shoe and i hit him as hard as i can , like this i don't hear the crunchy sound because the sound of the hit is 100 more louder , even my neighbor that lives in the other street hear the hit
Iunno if these are good enough reasons for them to run for Presidency.
Great one
genius.
don't we already have two running
Haha, great.
Something original
When a roach comes in my house I'm like alright roach find ur own food and don't crawl in my mouth teach ur children this tooo

why do they exist ? to feed Ant Canadas ant farms of course (you can check out ant canadas videos in UA-cam)

Cockroach: is DAH A HOOMAN?
ME: I SURE AM
COCKROACH: OH bYE SISTER
*gets stepped on*
I don't understand why some people are so scared and disgusted by roaches. They do whatever they can to stay away from people. They are merely seeking a food source. I always get them on a piece of paper and shoe them outside where they will be much happier:) They only tend to come out during the wee hours of the night to avoid us while they search for food. They only remain out for 3-4hrs and will go back into hiding. If you see them during the daytime it's because they think it's safe to be out and that they will not run into you.
Kristi Stevens I just squashed a roach
I'm with you on this one. I hate how people don't do any research and immediately have a false sense of entitlement to just wish death upon anything that isn't universally 'cute and cuddly'. Ignorance is the biggest cancer of this world. I understand phobias, but a lot of people say they hate insects because it's a societal norm. That's pretty sad. These insects are the glue that hold this planet together (literally), have lived on this earth for billions of years and we bully the crap out of them and kill them every chance we get, because we're 'superior' humans. It just irritates me. It's hypocrisy at its finest.
I don't like cockroach, because everytime when i go to the bathroom, it always walks on my feet. I always squash them with my sandals, or drown them
I would't mind them if only they didn't move so goddamn fast! it freaks me out because I can't predict in which direction they are running
Kristi Stevens 1:19
why mosquitoes?
Ikr
people don't really know but feel it is highly unwise to kill them all because we know to little about how their absence could effect the world
Me: * sees roach *
Ah its just a little mutated spider
Roach: * jet engine starts *
I picked up a couple of tiny dubia roaches (they were feeder roaches) many months ago...they were super cheap and for some reason I wanted a bug to keep as a pet.
These guys have been so neat! They don't bite, so I don't have to deal with that fear, and they're FULL of personality haha. I find them super cute.
They were the size of my pinky nail when I got them, and now they're both nearly the size of my whole thumb! 1 of them is full grown now and is a female, while the other hasn't grown fully quite yet...SO hoping he'll be a male and that they'll mate and have babies.
The female hates to be handled or even touched...but the other one is cool and reminds me of a puppy lol. He doesn't mind being held, and he lets me pet him without trying to run (I think he's gotten use to it over the months).
No idea why I'm typing this here...heh...I've just fallen in love with the spoiled little brats. They are spoiled too! They dine on fruits and veggies (and baby food), get plenty of water/moisture, live in a large container with lots of places to hide and it's also filled with shredded up coconut husk they like to bury into during the day.
Fun, cheap, super easy to keep pets. Highly recommended! :)
Fun game!
Take a shot of your favorite 'adult' beverage every time I use the word "super"!
I used to breed dubia roaches for my bearded dragons, I had thousands at one point, they will eat literally anything.
holy shit people actually keep cockroaches as pets? *shivers*
Tf is wrong with you bro, roaches as pets, I am shivering.
@@Joker129 lol :D
I've gained a much better appreciation for cockroaches. Last night, I had a dream that I was one of many contestants traversing through a sci-fi maze. We made it to a zone where we sat on benches for a short break. During the break, I observed like five or more contestants that were a combination of humans and aliens from different planets. Whoever is reading this might be wondering, "What does your dream have to do with cockroaches?" Well, one of the contestants was a female human teenager who held a cockroach as big as a glasses case in her cupped hands. She decided to set the roach down on the ground and told it to greet me. I felt so happy when it was crawling all over my face, neck, and shoulders before returning to its owner. The break was cut short when the maze started to become dominated with red and white-striped snakes that came after us and I was glad that I woke up. It may have been a nightmare, but at least there was a moment of kindness.
😂😂😂
That's no reason to love roaches. They could have had a kitten and sent it to greet you. Kittens are awesome.
@@bumblebee4280I like cats too. There is nothing wrong with that.

How can you see a cockroach if the cockroach is in your eyes...read your comment again and analyze it
Lmao honestly I feel bad when I kill a roach , so I usually just trap them and throw them outside then run back inside 🏃🏻💀💀
I do that too
And then i come and squish it with my flip flop
so do THEY....

Or we kill us and the planet a little through nuclear war. Whichever will be good for the environment.

Better question in my opinion why do they have such a bad reputation .
Because many people are assholes and just hate whatever is currently acceptable to hate. This is also why we have hate-trends.
@@-d_9894 Not really more like it's an insectoid pest. Much like a rat we do not want to live with them.
@@shnouth5391 Out of 4,600 cockroach species, only 30 are associated with human habitats, and only 4 are "pests". Saying "cockroaches are pests" is like saying "cats are black". It's just not an accurate statement.
Also, cockroaches were here millions of years before us and will probably be around millions of years after the last human dies. It would be more historically accurate to call humanity a pest animal that sometimes lives in cockroach territory.
One of these things is now the us president

That is a horrific insult to actual cockroaches.
