So there's

a group where they don't lay the egg case they hold it inside of them and they let their young incubate inside the egg case which they keep inside of their bodies and then there's some that give true live birth where they don't even have an egg case the eggs just develop directly inside the coolest example of parental care in one species is the young they have modified mouth parts their mouth parts are modified into like

Not like a hypodermic needle, but they are modified to pierce their mother's exoskeleton and suck her blood.

So that's a dedicated mom.

Yeah.

In the forest, it's a general kind of thing in entomology or even broader ecology where sometimes we only see like one individual of a species.

There's probably way more of them.

We just don't know where.

Yeah.

So when you see one, there's probably more because that individual had to come from somewhere and populations that are very small aren't

well sustained.

So it's a good hypothesis.

Yeah.

No, I don't.

Okay.

La Cucaracha and Joe's apartment.

It doesn't really ever come up.

I've seen parts of the relevant scene in Joe's apartment.

I don't know, Wally made cockroaches kind of cute.
