Everyone should have a pet.
Madagascar hissing cockroach is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 2 to 3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) at maturity. Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless. They are excellent climbers and can scale smooth glass. Males can be distinguished from females by their thicker, hairier antennae and the pronounced "horns". Females carry the egg case internally, and release the young nymphs only after the eggs have hatched. The parents and offspring will commonly remain in close physical contact for extended periods of time. In captivity, these insects can live 5 years. They feed primarily on vegetable material.
