The day and night of the cockroaches were very annoying, obviously before going to bed and stepping on a dead, would have liked to clean up the next day, the results came to the next day to see, found that the stepped on dead cockroaches disappeared. In this scene, let yourself sleep, the mind is also constantly thinking back, stepped on the dead cockroaches in the end where it went?

Cockroaches as one of the "four pests", as long as there is water, it is pervasive. If you find a cockroach in your home, chances are that some part of your home has "fallen". Maybe at night, you have a chance to see a nest of cockroaches feeding scene.

The cockroach is an amazing animal, it has its legend, all the way, it has carried through numerous storms, and to the present, it is still strong. I have to say, the nasty cockroach, very powerful, even after stepping on the dead did not clean up in time, it is possible to "come back".

Today, I give you a comprehensive introduction, you do not know the cockroach.

Do you know the cockroach?

The cockroach, a very ancient insect, had its footprint as early as 350 to 400 million years ago. And once the Earth's dominant dinosaur, about 230 million years ago before the emergence of the cockroach, even dinosaurs have to respect it as a brother.

Through the changes, the passage of time, the animals on earth through the wind and rain. In the end, the dinosaurs, the hegemons of all parties, have gone to extinction, while the cockroach, still stands, laughing proudly between heaven and earth.

Cockroach to go to the world, it "painstaking" development, and finally conquered, except for the poles of all regions. After now, the discovery of cockroach species, up to more than 6,000, the family is huge, and it has achieved its set goal.

To better adapt to the environment, cockroaches can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water, across the three worlds. In more than 6,000 species, there are probably more than 50 species that overlap with human activity areas. They are not picky about their food, they have water, and if there is sugar and starch, they can be happy for the rest of their lives.

If the habitat conditions are not good, it will gnaw on the board, chew shoes, tear wires, and hibernate, waiting for the darkness. The cockroach has a trick, it does not eat and drink for up to 1 month, just-drinks water, for up to half a year, anyway, it is difficult to starve it to death.

Not only that, the cockroach is not relied on the head to breathe, even if you take its head off, it can also run around alive for a few days. More powerful is that the cockroach has gone through hundreds of millions of years of baptism, it has been used in all kinds of disasters, and all kinds of viruses, and has developed a great skill to live.

According to research, when the nuclear explosions in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, none of the other animals were spared, only the hard life of the cockroach survived. It can withstand a full 6400 ~ 10000 rad radiation dose, which is 13 ~ 20 times more than humans. Some experts claim that if the Earth is destroyed, it is estimated that only cockroaches live alone.

"He is strong by him, the breeze brushes the hillock; he is horizontal by him, the moon shines on the river." The cockroach faces the hatred of human beings, it looks at us like a fool, and it is difficult for human beings to eliminate it. For a small slipper stepped on, it does not hurt, just rely on the unique body structure, and it will be able to turn the danger into success.

The stepped-on cockroaches do not clean up, why the next day no?

The cockroach with many skills, after stepping on the death of all the disappeared, there are three main reasons.

First: it is faking death, resurrection ran

People who have caught the cockroach should know that the body of the cockroach is flat, at the same time, the cockroach's shell and wings are relatively hard, but also have most insects have an exoskeleton. Based on a structure, the cockroach will be in front of people to perform a "blindfold".

The cockroach emits a very fishy smell all over its body, which makes most people afraid of it. When you step on it with your shoe, you may quickly withdraw your foot out of fear. You hear the clicking sound coming from the sole of your shoe and think you've done a great job and trampled it to death, but in fact, you've only got it slightly or seriously injured.

Because the sole of the shoe to prevent slipperily, can not be flat, different specifications of the depression design, will let the body of the flat cockroach survive. You may step on the cockroach's shell, and wings, just to make it part of the "fracture", and most of its body is sunk into the sole, unharmed.

And the cockroach in the face of a major threat to life, it will use fake death to deceive opponents, at this time, if you stepped on it, it may use fake death to deceive you. When you look at it lying motionless, let down your guard and leave, while the cockroach senses that the threat is lifted, it will roll over and get up and escape.

In addition, the reason why the cockroach can still live without its head is that its blood vessels are open tube type, with almost no blood pressure, without transporting oxygen. When the head falls off, the wound at its neck will quickly coagulate, while the remaining organs can move freely.

This is one, the second, the cockroach's respiratory system around its abdomen, a total of about 10 breathing holes, as long as it did not kill it, or did not destroy all of its breathing holes, it can survive for a while even if it encounters serious disabilities.

So, when it is lucky enough to be propped up with a foot, it is most likely to fake its death. When no one sees it, it will flee the scene and continue to harm. To create a kind of us, obviously stepped on it, but the illusion of disappearing.

Of course, if you step on it and then rotate it two times, there is a lot of popping, and the cockroach will not be able to "come back from the dead". After all, the cockroach is also flesh and blood, it can only resist most chemical attacks, and can not resist the larger physical damage.

Second: it was "carried away" by his companions

The reason why the cockroach can stand for hundreds of millions of years, is the way to survive, the use of sweat. Don't look at its small body, small mouth, eat up, and not too sharp look, but its stomach can take all the rivers, meet what to eat what.

The key is that the cockroach's digestive system is very strong, whether it is food waste, tables, chairs, benches, shoes, and sofas, or chemicals, as long as it can eat into the stomach, it will have a way to degrade it, detoxification, digestion, absorption. This is the so-called "steel and iron".

In addition, within the cockroach population, it is estimated that there is an unwritten rule, namely: their goal is to live until the end of the sea, is to live until the end of the earth, if one day, the population suffered a catastrophe, they do not have to take into account the affection, to live, the old and sick cockroaches can eat, to continue the population.

At this point, modern experts have proven, according to research, that cockroaches are very favorable to the excrement of the same kind and very cool to love the corpses of their companions. Once they smell the smell of their companion's burst, they will be hungry and thirsty, and simply can not restrain their restless nerves. At that time, the disabled or dead cockroaches will be quickly "disposed of" by their peers.

This is the reason why people have researched and developed many "miracle drugs" to eliminate cockroaches. The cockroaches can not control their mouths, for a nest of cockroaches, only one too greedy to eat cockroach pills will do. When the gluttonous crawl back into the cave, whether it is through physical contact, or waiting for it to die, as long as other cockroaches contacted or ate its body, other cockroaches will be infected with each other, facing a "nest" of the situation.

Therefore, whether you step on the cockroach or not, if not properly handled, other cockroaches smell and move, will soon help you to "dispose" of it.

Third: It was eaten by other animals

The smell of cockroaches is very bad, but it is in nature, for other animals, but also very delicious meat. For example, spiders, geckos, lizards, praying mantis, toads and individual birds, cockroaches are in their recipes.

In addition, the cat alien kept at home, also has the habit of catching cockroaches, individual species of cats, and will eat cockroaches. However, the cockroaches that are good at burrowing into the wall cracks may be a lot of work for the cat aliens to catch it.

In addition, another non-picky ant, is also the main animal that eats cockroaches, ants are small, but the winning family is huge, let it go to consume a cockroach, but also a few hours.

Never step on a cockroach at will, or the consequences are unpredictable

Since the cockroach can resist nuclear radiation, it is on the germs, naturally not in the conversation. Studies have shown that cockroaches carry dozens of pathogens of germs and viruses, including E. coli, staphylococcus, salmonella, typhoid, plague bacillus, streptococcus, Mycobacterium leprae, enterovirus, hepatitis virus, hookworm and so on.

In addition, the cockroach has a habit of vomiting up and down when feeding, its mouth will regurgitate food, its butt will excrete dirt, and its lifestyle is a mess. If it regurgitates and excretes on our dishes or food, the human body caused by allergies is a small matter, infected with carcinogenic substances is a big deal.

The living cockroach is so uncomfortable, for the same reason, stepping on it at will is uncomfortable. If you step on it without timely disposal of the sole, then it carries germs, viruses, and parasitic eggs, it will spread around with the sole of your shoes, so see, stepping on it is very serious. If I say, this is not the most serious, are you amazed?

Indeed, the cockroach also has a strong point. Cockroaches can reproduce a week after plummeting to adulthood, and females only need to mate once and can lay eggs for life. Pregnancy produces egg sheaths, each containing 14 to 40 eggs, and up to 100 egg sheaths in a single pregnancy. With this calculation, up to 4,000 baby cockroaches may be born from just one pregnancy.

Earlier studies by biologists found that female cockroaches can lay eggs even when no male cockroaches are present. This one argument was argued by a team of researchers at a Japanese university in 2017, proving that female cockroaches that never mated would be hermaphroditic in harsh environments and could also produce egg sheaths.

The more powerful point is that a female cockroach can produce up to 100,000 offspring a year. Think about it, if you have several female cockroaches in your home, how horrible it is to have an army of cockroaches roaming around your kitchen and other places for over a year?

The egg sheath is dragged by the female cockroach's buttocks, and she can develop on her own without the energy provided by the female. Individual American cockroaches, for example, prefer to hide their egg sheaths in hidden places such as cracks in walls to lighten their load. Most female cockroaches, on the other hand, carry them with them.

If you step on a female cockroach with an egg sheath, it's okay if you step on it correctly, the cockroach will destroy it along with the egg sheath, which is not a big problem as long as it is handled properly. If you step on the wrong one, the egg sheath will be squeezed and quickly detached from the female cockroach's body and may fall aside or even farther. The egg sheaths are already small and easily neglected, and those that survive will continue to hatch, and in time, more cockroaches will emerge.

Therefore, when stepping on a cockroach, if it is not good, it is a stab at the cockroach nest, really "riding a donkey carrying a sack - a coincidence into a clumsy". Therefore, it is very important to step on cockroaches, but it is more important to handle them properly after stepping on them.

At this point, the stepped-on dead cockroaches pinched up cremation, is undoubtedly the best way, we have to pinch the nose to endure, it spread a fishy and pungent smell.

Do not look down on the cockroach, it also has a high medicinal value

With medicinal value, is the only benefit that cockroaches bring to humans. In our ancient times, the cockroaches around the alias: gossip, gossip cockroach, spoiled Lang, sauce insects, flying polyphagia, negative plate, stone ginger, slippery insects, steal oil woman, tea woman insects, fragrant maiden, etc., and in the relevant Chinese medical texts, there are cockroaches into the prescription of medicine.

In modern times, medical science also often obtains extracts from the American cockroach to treat burns, scalds, stomach ulcers, stomach bleeding, and other diseases with remarkable results. However, the cockroaches used in medicine are artificially farmed in a sterile environment.

Overall

When cockroaches appear in your home, it is time to do a hygiene sweep of your home. The cockroaches can leave the food, but they can not leave the water, as long as we hygiene timely treatment, and always keep the kitchen, bathroom, and other places do not exist any stagnant water, then perhaps the cockroaches will be disgusted to go.

Sometimes, it is clear that the home is spotless, how do cockroaches still appear? This time, you have to ask your neighbors. [wit]
