Now, your girly poproaches, they have ovaries, a vagina, an ovipositor, they got a genital pouch, and they have some surprises in store for you too.

Wow.

It's like nursing, but blood.

Little vampire babies.

Did you know that some cockroaches make milk for their babies?

Through an odd series of events, I recently paid a lab to milk a cockroach for me, and I'll tell you all about it in a bonus episode coming out in a few days about cockroach milk.

Spooked over.

What about their populations?

Zen Frog, Cynthia Cinnabar, Marculet, Meg Salugia, Mycolologist, Mini Mini, and Theraciporus Jess wanted to know, Zen Frog said, if I see one, how many are there really?

Cynthia Cinnabar, is it true that if you see one roach, there's a million hiding nearby?

Is that true?

I mean, from going in the forest, if you see one in the forest, you know...

That's not the only one, obviously.

So this really depends on the species.

Some outdoor wood roaches can find their way in through a drain and they're only in your house because they got lost or they followed the call of a light source and were curious.

Others say that if you have a little German roaches, there are about 100 more for every roach that you see.

Also, take a Google and see what baby cockroaches look like.

They're kind of beetle-esque with a little round butt.

And I've gotten texts from friends asking what kind of bug they found.

And I have to break the news to them that two roaches fell in love and now life is a nightmare.
