If you ate the wings off a cockroach would the roach go on living?

Probably? Cockroaches are really though. They survive quite a long time even when disected in a lab because of a diffuse nervous system.They have a series of neural ganglia in segments along their bodies so if one part of their body is cut off the remaining nervous system can still function to maintain the rest of the cockroach.

Termites & bugs inhabit old dead trees.\n\nBirds eat the insects.

depending on the size of the toads, I suppose it might be possible, but I'm not sure why you'd want to.\n\nIf you do, you may want to swallow them head first.  Many toads will inhale air to puff themselves up like a puffer fish if they are being swallowed.  This works fairly well on snakes, who don't have an easy means of puncturing the toad to deflate it.  Herons tend to spear them with their bill first, so they don't have much chance to inflate.\n\nYou should also be aware that many toads produce toxins in their skin and their parotid glands.  In the case of cane toads (Bufo marinus) this toxin is powerful enough to kill predators like cats, dogs and quoll (an Australian predator sometimes called a marsupial cat or native cat).  Even if it doesn't kill you, the toxins can make you violently ill, and in some cases cause hallucinations.\n\nBecause they tend to live in moist environments, toads can also be a carrier for all kinds of inimical bacteria.  Salmonella and other pathogens can live on their skin, and swallowing a toad could make you sick or kill you even if you aren't affected by the toxins.\n\nAlso, in many areas it is illegal to harm or kill wildlife.  Eating toads may be a violation of these statutes in your area.  So even if you aren't killed or made sick by the toxins and bacteria on the toad, you may be arrested just for eating one.\n\nAll in all, I'd recommend buying a hamburger instead.  Maybe you could try swallowing that all at once.

Absolutely not. People believed that the eggs could be carried on shoes and eventually hatch somewhere else. If a cockroach dies then so does the eggs because they cannot survive in a dead body or outside of it. To kill them is a matter of personal preference, squash them,spray them or put poison down

Here's a thought....\n\nAfter Mr. Fly is tired out from a day's work of swarming around and eating from trash bins, dog poop and road kill, he buzzes on over to your house and takes a rest on your kitchen counter - right where you make your PB 'n J.  He visits various other spots in your house - including your shoulder - before finally landing on your ceiling, where you end his life with a swat and thus disperse his microbe-ridden remains throughout your living room.\n\nYet as filthy and annoying as the fly is, I'll take the occasional dirty rogue fly over the persistent cockroach infestation any day of the week.

Well..the larvae would have survived and been stuck to all those dead carcasses that were floating on the surface...wasn't so much evolution as it was survival of the fittest...it's hard to kill all those bugs....and their larvae...and bacteria...hey...what a breeding grounds...whewee...

Cockroaches are just a susceptible to radiation as any other type of creature, more so than many types of insect.  Cockroaches resist radiation 6 to 15 times better than humans do.  They still die at levels FAR lower than that released by a nuclear detonation.  See the link under source for an entire article on the subject.

If we don't check ourselves it'll be time for another speices to take over. I hear cockroaches can survive lots of hard radiation and industrial pollutants.

I'd be like, "I change my mind about the pantyhose thing" and put him in a plastic container jar with little air holes on the lid. I'd rattle it a few times a day and throw bugs in there, my weird ex was afraid of cockroaches.

A quick question with a quick answer: They're not blind.\n\nBut if you're still curious if they use it to navigate around... No.\n\nThey use their hypersensitive antennae to navigate, distiguish objects, detect vibrations and find their food.\n\nA cockroach with its antennae cut off will die of starvation.\n\nI do this ALLLLLLLLLLL THE TIME!!!!\n\nAND ITS FEEEEEEEEELLS SO GOOOOOOOOD!!!\n\nYucky creepy bastards!

Cockroaches are known to live in almost every environment on the planet.

cockroach respires with the help of air tubes called trachae which is spread all over the body.Trachae opens to the exterior by means of 10 pairs of stigmata or spiracles which have valves.Air enters stigmata and is directly taken into the tissues where exchange of gases takes place.Blood has no role to play in respiration as in other animals and so respiration in cockroach(in insects in general) is said to be direct and more efficient than in any other animal.

Well, if that was true then would it be cannibalism to kill and eat a chicken?  I guess you have to draw the line somewhere.  Why not with the chicken.  \n\nIf YOU thought of this question though I appreciate the way your mind works.

The female cockroach need the male to impregnate her once during her life.  After that she can lay 100's of eggs without the male.  Sometimes the female will carry around the egg sacs until they hatch, but she doesn't care for the young.
