Anatomy of a Cockroach: Know your Enemy

A roach is a roach and it’s good as dead. For the longest it didn’t matter what kind of roach it was, because it would soon be annihilated. But, in reality, having roaches in your home is not ok. You can’t just stomp or try to treat on your own. You have to arm yourself with knowledge and professional help. So to start you off on the right track we will cover the anatomy of different types of common roaches, their features and their habitats.

Cockroaches. Anatomy and habits

 Like most other insects, cockroaches have an exoskeleton, meaning their skeleton is located on the outside of their bodies. They have three simple body parts: the head, thorax, and abdomen. Their head is dominated by their long antennae that are constantly moving and sensing the environment. 

Controlling Cockroaches

 When RoboRoach appeared as a Kickstarter project in June, the project to control a living cockroach’s movements using a smartphone, generated buzz and was successfully funded. Now the project is poised for a large-scale launch in November, but some dissidents have raised ethics concerns about the way it frames animal experimentation.
