Cockroaches is the Government

Cockroaches are insects of which about 30 species out of 4,600l are associated with human habitats. About four species are well known as pests.

Among the best-known pest species are the American cockroach, the German cockroach, the Asian cockroach, Tropical cockroaches

Cockroaches live in a wide range of environments around the world. Pest species adapt readily to a variety of environments, but prefer warm conditions found within buildings. Many tropical species prefer even warmer environments and do not fare well in the average household.

Cockroaches are mainly nocturnal[10] and will run away when exposed to light. A peculiar exception is the Asian cockroach, which is attracted to light.

Fleas are the programs

They are wingless, with mouthparts adapted for piercing skin and sucking blood. Fleas are external parasites, living by hematophagy off the blood..

Going through the four life cycle stages of egg, larva, pupa, and imago (adult). Adult fleas must feed on blood before they can become capable of reproduction

 Leeches are bankers 

leeches are small parasitic, Not all leeches are bloodsuckers. Many are predators which eat earthworms,

The Amazon leech uses a different method of sucking blood. It inserts a long proboscis into the victim, as opposed to biting.

 8.      The bite of a leech is painless, due to its own anaesthetic.

 9.      The Hirudo leech injects an anti-coagulant serum into the victim to prevent the blood clotting.

 10.    The leech will gorge itself until it has had its fill and then just fall off.

 11.    The leech will gorge itself up to five times its body weight.

 12.    The first leech was used in medicine about 1000 B.C., probably in ancient India.

 13.    In the past, people would stand in the lakes and pools dotted around the country and when the leeches attached to their legs they would put them in baskets and sell them. Today the Hirudo leech is an endangered species.

 14.    The original surgeons were barbers and they used leeches to cure anything from headaches to gout!

 15.    The nervous system of the leech is very similar to the human nervous system and is an enormous benefit to researchers in their quest for the answers to human problems.

 16.    The nearest relatives of leeches are earthworms.

 17.    Leeches can bite through a hippo's hide!
