A look inside the vast world of roaches
Did you know that the pesky cockroaches we sometimes find in kitchens, sewers and basements make up less than 1 percent of all cockroach species? Researchers estimate there are as many as 20,000 roach species on the planet and less than 5,000 have been cataloged.
