Cockroach vs. Hydraulic Press: Who Wins?
🕑 Added 2023-09-13 00:50:51 +0000 UTCDo cockroaches -- those daring, disgusting disease vectors -- have anything at all to offer us? Scientists think so. They compressed American roaches with a hydraulic press, subjecting them to forces equivalent to nearly 900 times their body weight. Don't worry (or do): They survived! How exactly do they do it?
We hope you enjoy this first look at our newest episode! You can start sharing it with other science fans on Thursday, Sept. 14 from YouTube. Thanks!

The American roaches you see in the video are immature ones. They develop wings later! And thanks for watching and being a patron!!

Lovely - can't wait to share this with my friend! (who is currently plagued by them) I can google it, but is there a reason some of them have wings and some of them don't?
