Brainless?

I read an article somewhere which suggested that Cockroaches don't have a brain? Anyone know if this is correct? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.55.190 (talk • contribs) 12:51, 22 May 2005

All creatures possessing a cavity have a brain. In some cases the brain is an interconnected group of nerves that transmit neurons. This is how they sense things. Immobile animals like sponges and I believe anemones are less likely to have "brains". I was a bit disheartened to learn that my most feared enemy has a brain. Ehh, that's what I came to Wikipedia for tonight. Research on the enemy that I just engaged in a ferocious battle not more than 30 minutes ago. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.59.34.186 (talk • contribs) 02:53, 24 June 2005

actually that is false becuase if the cockroach didnt have a brain it wouldn't have a nervous system, which would mean that the cockroach wouldn't be able yo have any body functions at all, so what you read is false.

Offspring Math

Someone needs to check the two paragraphs dealing with the number of eggs the female is capable of laying. Even if the math is correct, the entire section is unclear and inconsistent. Is a case the same thing as a sac? What about a capsule? The section needs to be reworked. The German cockroach should be better distinguished from the regular cockroach. The laying rate and capacity of the regular cockroach should be given first before stating she can lay one million eggs over a lifetime. The list continues... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.120.14.7 (talk • contribs) 19:32, 24 June 2006

BIG Cockroaches

"Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger" .... you bet they are! In the Caribbean they are HUGE. Their bodies can be >3 inches long, and they bite! Many years ago I had a run-in with a 'roach. It got underneath my T-shirt, and it felt HORRIBLE :-( —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.108.37.138 (talk • contribs) 04:26, 27 September 2006

Cockroach Blood

I have very often heard that cockroaches dont have the haemoglobin content in their blood and hence they have colourless blood. Even when we kill a cockroach we cant really spot the red blood. Anybody has a true picture of this? The is good but wiki guys can add these details to the article rite? Thanks.
