Hissing Cockroaches
This hissing cockroach is another example of many of the beetles and terrestrial insects that inhabit the desert feeding on rotting matter. These insects scavenge the sand in search of food constantly. They are a key part to the function and the flow of their ecosystem. Just as the Garbage cleanup that happens within our own lives is key to the prosperity of our society. Without it disease would spread and the cleanliness of our environment would be non existent. And in the desert the lack of rain makes decomposition a much longer process. So with the help of these decomposers, the desert remains clean of rot and disease allowing for all other organisms to prosper without the threat of illness and improves the overall health of the ecosystem.
