"Invincible Xiaoqiang" is used to describe cockroaches. In addition to their tenacious vitality, cockroaches also have extremely strong reproductive capabilities. They can often be seen in daily life.
According to fossil data, the earliest appearance of primitive cockroaches on the earth can be traced back to 400 million years ago, at the same time as the extinct dinosaurs. Cockroaches are an ancient species. Cockroaches can withstand the test of intense heat and severe cold, and are still distributed today. Quite extensive.
A species of the same era as the dinosaurs is still harassing our lives. It is obvious that it is really an invincible little beast.
The fossilized cockroaches currently discovered or the cockroaches found in coal and amber are not much different from those found in cabinets in various houses.
After hundreds of millions of years of climate and crustal changes, its appearance has not changed much from that of ancient times, but its vitality and adaptability have become more and more tenacious. It has been multiplying to this day and is widely distributed in every corner of the world, hiding in hiding. In the windows of every house.
Do you know, Xiaoqiang’s vitality is really strong. A cockroach with its head removed can survive for nine days. The cause of death after nine days is excessive hunger because it cannot eat without its head.
The outrageous cockroaches have different names in different places. It likes to live in places that are warm, moist, rich in food, and filled with crevices. Therefore, its activities at home are often concentrated in relatively hidden places such as bathrooms and kitchens.
The reproductive capacity of cockroaches is also very strong. A female cockroach can breed nearly 10,000 offspring a year, and up to 100,000. After many female cockroaches mate once, they will become hermaphrodites and can produce children continuously without mating. egg. This is one of the reasons why cockroaches in a home cannot be killed.
In our daily view, cockroaches are useless except for being a "foodie". In fact, this is not the case. As a member of the ecosystem, it can promote plant growth, help plant pollination and decompose some rotten matter. The existence of cockroaches makes the food chain more complete.
Because cockroaches are known as "the invincible little cockroaches", scientists have also focused their research on them, and they have also contributed to human aviation.
The cockroach, known as "the strongest creature on the surface", was once sent into space and took on the important task of "exploring" space. The European Space Agency sent 54 cockroaches into space in 2007, and equipped the cockroaches with independent space life system rooms. The cockroaches that entered space not only survived, but also successfully conceived and gave birth to 33 cockroach babies. Scientists have discovered that these baby cockroaches not only grow faster and run faster, but are also stronger.
This is enough to show how tenacious the vitality of cockroaches is.
Recently, the corpses of three cockroaches were auctioned in foreign auction houses. Because they had eaten lunar dust during their lives, the auction price is expected to reach 400,000 US dollars (approximately 2.67 million yuan). The price of the seemingly inconspicuous corpses is so high just because they Ate lunar dust.
As a cockroach, it climbed into space, ate moon dust, and took off its head for nine days before dying. It is so tenacious that it deserves the title of "the invincible little cockroach".
Because its vitality is so tenacious, what disasters has it brought to us?
Case 1
A man was bitten by a cockroach in his ear while sleeping. Although he immediately went to the hospital to remove the cockroach, it was not completely cleaned out until the next day. The man's eardrum was bitten and his hearing decreased by nearly 30 decibels.
Case 2
An old man in Harbin collected rubbish in his home, which caused a large number of cockroaches to breed. The entire building was infested with cockroaches. Every day, cockroaches were seen running out from the cracks in the door of the old man's house. Even the residents on the 18th floor had cockroaches in their homes. Everyone took care of this building. The building is called "Cockroach Building".
There are many such examples. Cockroaches are hygienic pests that people cannot avoid.
In the face of Xiaoqiang who cannot be beaten to death, is there really nothing we can do? Some people say that you should not step on a cockroach when you see one, but why?
Cockroaches have amazing reproductive capabilities. Many cockroaches may be breeding hundreds of cockroach eggs in their egg sheaths. This egg sheath is very hard. Even if we trample the cockroach to death, its eggs will not be harmed until a certain time. When hatching in a suitable environment, this will speed up the hatching of cockroaches and cause more cockroaches to appear, so be sure not to step on cockroaches.
The best way to reduce cockroaches in your home is to keep your home clean and tidy, try not to accumulate items at home, clean them on time, check places where cockroaches tend to move, and buy insecticides or killing tools from professional places.
The sight of tiny cockroaches really makes people's scalp numb. The food or furniture you sometimes eat may have been invaded by them at night, so the food should be kept well and don't let its presence affect your mood.
