Without question, cockroaches are truly one of nature's most amazing and enduring creatures. How amazing? Read on.

Cockroaches are thought to have originated 0ver 280 million
years ago (during the Carboniferous era).

The world's largest roach (which lives in South America) is
six inches long with a one-foot wingspan.

Cockroaches bleed white blood.

Cockroaches have 6 hairy legs. The tiny hairs found on each
leg gives them their sense of touch.

Cockroaches can hold their breath for up to 40 minutes and
spend about 75 percent of the time just resting.

There are an estimated 5,000 species of cockroaches
worldwide.

Some female cockroaches mate once and are pregnant for the
rest of their lives.

You've no doubt heard the legend of the headless cockroach.
Well, in this case, the legend also happens to be fact. A
cockroach can live a week without its head. The roach only
dies because without a mouth, it can't drink water and dies
of thirst.

Cockroaches can run up to three miles in an hour.

Young cockroaches need only a crack as thin as a dime
(about .5mm wide) to crawl into. Adult males can squeeze
into a space of 1.6mm or the thickness of a quarter.
Pregnant females need the most space to hide: 4.5mm or a
space as tall as two stacked nickels.

A cockroach's heart is nothing but a simple tube with
valves. The tube can pump blood backwards and forwards in
the insect. The heart can even stop moving without harming
the roach.

Roaches can live without food for a month, but will only
survive a week without water.

Roaches will eat just about anything--including finger nail
clippings, bread crumbs, food scraps off of dirty dishes--
even labels on cans, including the glue.

Most species of roaches live in the tropics. But roaches
live all over the world, including the North and South
Poles. Pest cockroachs can withstand temperatures as cold as
32°F (0°C), but will die if the temperature goes much below
that. In extremely cold places, however, they survive by
moving in with humans.

Cockroaches can climb walls because they are equipped with a
set of little claws on their feet designed for that very
purpose.

Crushed cockroaches can be applied to a stinging wound to
help relieve the pain.

Roaches use their feelers, or antennae as noses. Their sense
of smell is so great, they recognize family and friends by
their distinctive odors.

Female roaches attract male roaches by producing pheromones.
Pheromones are chemicals that attract male roaches like a
magnet and drives them wild.
