I recently learned that when a female cockroach gets pregnant for the first time, she is forever pregnant afterward. Can you imagine that ladies? Always pregnant? You raise one bunch of rotten little offspring and along comes some more. Never ending breeding. Geez, how gross!
The big drawback with this is that you have sex once and you are done for life. If someone gets pregnant, at least they should have the option of having good sex first. Those roaches don't even get to boink again before becoming pregnant. That bites. I wonder if they boink anyway, even though they are already cooking up a new batch of critters?
It's no wonder they have been around for millions of years. With that breeding power, they should be able to survive forever. They will eventually take over, I'm sure. We can't keep up with that kind of longevity.
I'm sure glad they aren't carnivores. We'd really be in trouble, eh?
