Watch a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Give Birth


(Video Link)


Behold the miracle of childbirth. If you've ever been in a delivery room, you know what I mean. It's an amazing sight to watch this mother's babies pop out and begin crawling around, exploring a world new to them.

I did not know that the hissing cockroach gave birth to live young and found it most disturbing, yet fascinating. I admire nature in all of it's splendid glory, and try hard to put my kill it with fire impulse aside, but in this case I would have to go all Ripley on this queen.

I found it interesting. Looks painful to be honest, wouldn't kill her after that labor. Pushing out something taking up most of your internal space, no thanks.
