Re: Re: Interesting Fact
Well … keeping this going. Here’s some more cool bug stuff.

Some female cockroaches are devoted mothers, carrying their offspring in little pouches like kangaroos. One species even nourishes her young in the uterus with a milk rich in protein, carbohydrates, and fat.

Out of the 4000 known species of cockroach only 20 types are classified as pests.

A cockroach’s head will live and respond for at least 12 hours after the animal has been decapitated. YUCK!

Scientists recently discovered that insects such as cockroaches and honeybees make collective decisions and use voting and quorums to help decide where to make their next home.

And how about this fact from Japan?

Beetles are one of the most popular pets in Japan and can be bought in many department stores!

LOST
