Fun Facts About Madagascar Hissing Roaches
They Can Hiss!
Madagascar hissing roaches produce a loud hissing sound by forcing air through their breathing holes. They use this to communicate and ward off predators!
Males Have Horns
Male hissing roaches have distinctive horn-like bumps on their thorax. They use these to battle other males for territory and mates in epic roach wrestling matches!
Madagascar Natives
These fascinating insects are found only on the island of Madagascar. They live on the forest floor, munching on fallen fruit and decaying plant matter.
Long-Lived Insects
Unlike many insects that live for just weeks or months, Madagascar hissing roaches can live for 2-5 years! That's a long time for an insect companion.
Live Birth Champions
Unlike most insects that lay eggs, female hissing roaches give birth to live young! A mother can produce 20-60 baby roaches at once, called nymphs.
Wingless Wonders
These roaches are completely wingless throughout their entire lives. Instead of flying away from danger, they rely on their impressive hissing ability and quick legs!
