Cockroaches

[Lecter]

• Cockroaches can live in practically all climates and temperatures. They can live for a month without food and a week without water. And they can hold their breath for 40 minutes.
  
• They can flatten themselves as thin as a piece of paper and slip through tiny cracks. They have an oily coating that helps to make them extra slippery.
  
• A cockroach’s entire nervous system is in its main body, which means it has very little of what we would call a brain. A cockroach can live for 10 days without its head.
