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!
