Not all roaches are filthy. The Madagascar hissing cockroach actually makes a pretty sweet pet, thanks to the hungry mites that serve as its cleaning crew.

Explore big scientific mysteries by going incredibly small. --- As the weather starts to warm and cold days give way to balmier, sunny days, one rite of spring returns every year, just like spring flowers: cockroaches. Most people run to buy a can of bug spray or to call the exterminator when they see the scurrying little insects in their kitchens or outside their homes. But not all roaches are pests. Some are pets – like the Madagascar hissing cockroach. They can be bought at pet stores or online for $5 or less. They don’t bite and don’t carry diseases. They are also much larger than the run-of-the-mill roach, with adults averaging about 3 inches long. They live up to five years. They are slow-moving and mellow – kind of like an old tabby cat. But with antennae. And an appetite for fresh vegetables. ---+ Read the entire article on KQED Science: https://www.kqed.org/science/1955611/you-wish-you-had-mites-like-this-hissing-cockroach --- Why do the cockroaches hiss? They’ll hiss when they’re sounding an alarm or startled, trying to attract a mate or protecting their territory from another male. --- Are the mites harmful to the cockroaches? No – they actually help prolong the cockroaches’ lives. --- What happens to the mites if its host cockroach dies? The mites will mate, give birth to their young and feed on the same cockroach their entire lives – so they’ll usually die within a few days after the cockroach dies, too, and not seek a new home. ---+ For more information: UC Davis Bohart Museum of Entomology https://bohart.ucdavis.edu/ ---+ More Great Deep Look episodes: It’s a Bug’s Life: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdKlciEDdCQA1MVDuyxZPVloYV3wpunMO ---+ Shoutout! 🏆Congratulations 🏆to the following fans on our YouTube community tab who correctly identified the creature from a past episode most closely related to cockroaches - the termite!
