All American pest roaches--like most American humans--were immigrants.
- Roaches wear their skeletons on the outside of their bodies.
- Cockroaches bleed white blood.
- Roach mouths work sideways.
- Roaches use their feelers as noses.
- Cockroaches have 6 legs and least 18 knees.
- Pregnant for life? It doesn't sound like much fun, but some female cockroaches mate once and are pregnant for the rest of their lives.
- No food for a month--not even a crumb? Roaches can go without eating for a month but will only live a week without water.
