- I captured up-close macro timelapse sequences of cockroach egg cases hatching and roach nymphs emerging! I think it's both amazing and squirm-inducing footage! Featured here are an American cockroach (Periplaneta americana) and a German cockroach (Blattella germanica).
Check out the other Ant Lab cockroach video, about how adult roaches jump here: • Cockroaches Can Jump &...
Thanks to Prof. Coby Schal & Rick Rick Santangelo for supplying the roaches! Thanks to Nicolás Galvez for assistance on this project.

The most interesting thing about this is how the egg case is this perfectly formed package that looks like it is made of the same thing as the cockroach's outer cuticle, and it's so neatly lined up with a precise number of young inside it.
This is why I love evolution. Because stuff like this has popped up and it’s amazing to think how things that work this well came to be
Masha'Allah
God
Brilliant design or random creation?
it's biomechanical you can say
I was never so torn between 'Aww' and 'Eww'. The hatching is disgusting, but just look at their tiny little heads :'D
bro those are roaches you good?
I've never been so sure of saying "EWW"
they are adorable
Nope. Just plain EWW
then just say "Aeww"
If only they didn't like living where we live, they would just be another cool weirdly social beetle to admire.
agree
I've never thought of it this way, but it makes SO MUCH sense
It's funny because the great majority of cockroach species don't live where we do, it's only a hand full of species that are common pests. People that keep pet roaches usually keep more exotic ones like hissing roaches, dubias, Halloween hissers, porcelain roaches, glowspot roaches, domino roaches, harlequin roaches, question mark roaches, emerald roaches, and many many more. There's so many beautiful species in the hobby and some people never know about them because they only think of the pest roaches!
If you cleaned up after yourself, they wouldn't love it as much.
@@castleanthrax1833 Spoken like someone who's never been poor and/or lived next to conditions, out of your control, that they do love.
Whoever is saying “aww cute” never had a roach infestation before
Man the smell they leave..and they are so hard to get rid off
This video was recommended while I'm searching for air fryer chicken recipes and iced coffee! Nice!

The German cockroach
Cockroach: "Guten Morgen!"
Yup, gross but fascinating. I always wondered how they hatched 😅
it's truly horrifying... they hatch in SIXTEENS. 😨
As someone who grew up in a house whose roach species can FLY, I have seen, held, and crushed roach eggs.
If you dealt with flying roaches, you would understand why I am more than willing to touch eggs to destroy eggs.
@@Aereto me too
@@Aereto Some of em can fly and those are the most terrible. Just you there sitting and the rough is flying randomly around eesh
@@Aereto All roaches have wings, and all of them CAN fly, most choose not to unless they are in serious danger, like their usual foul smell diversion and running doesn't get them away. Doesn't mean they're particularly good at flying, but they can get quick bursts of flight, kinda like a grasshopper jumping.
From our POV, it's kinda hard to fathom how such a small package can bear so many units inside that hatch at the same time.
That's what she said!
The clown car of the insect world
It's kind of comparable on how some women can have multiple birth or babies inside them in just one birth like sextuplets, octuplets, etc.
@@stuff4everthe best opportunistic use of this joke I've seen in some time! Excelsior!! 🤪
@@mislavkrznaric1635comment of the day right here
This reminds me of when mantis hatch from their egg casing as well. Way more chaotic but similar nonetheless. At least their heads look really similar. Also their egg casing reminds me of a clutch purse almost to a tee. It's kind of crazy how some species of sharks have different shapes but similar egg casings as cockroaches. This world is amazing!
Yep, both roaches and mantises lay oothecae, theyre also closely related!
@Ant Lab do this next!
Yes, mantises are overhyped roaches. (No, seriously, they are closely related. And termites even more than mantises to roaches)
@@definitivamenteno-malo7919 I will say that roaches are underhyped mantids. While they definitely can be bothersome pests, they are fascinating in their own right, and deserve a bit more respect in my opinion. And mantids are objectively awesome
@@CeeJMantis Yeah, sure, I will respect roaches... that ain't pests. Which, frankly, are the majority of the family. Only 4 or 5 or so are "domestic", the majority are forest dwellers.
this is honestly way less gross than vertebrate birthing IMO, thanks for this fascinating footage!
I know right, like watching mammals give birth is way more disgusting from a visual point of view than roaches hatching, in my opinion anyway 🤣
@@kryptonite754 NO
Very true
@@naufalalbari no to mammal birth, or no to insect birth? because uh, i don't know if you've ever seen someone give birth, but it can get pretty gruesome, and fecal matter is often involved. plus, there can be tearing or prolapsing, and then afterwards there can be preeclampsia which can be fatal. or like, excessive hemorrhaging. and sadly, maternal mortality is a real issue, and it's unfortunately rising...
either way, theres a reason people faint during childbirth LMAO
@@Cheshieruu I said no to insect birth
I didn't find any of it gross. It was all wonderful to watch! Thanks again for all you share here on your Channel :-)
Samee
Yeah, they’re actually pretty adorable!
Because their are defenseless, a newborn trying to live their life
I agree
I didn't find it gross either but then I saw the larvae of parasitic waps hatch from a live caterpillar, that definitely grossed me out
Cockroaches are born from a little suitcase that's kind of cute.
How do they all fit ?!!?
It's amazing how much cockroaches compress, thanks a bunch for sharing! Wonderful footage!
I'm a Roach Hobbyist and Breeder of pet species and I swear there's nothing cuter than seeing these little guys all happy and free from their egg cases. I just love their cute little heads and eyes SO TEENY
You're sick. Seek help
Still, as someone who is grossed out by roaches as much as the next person, they are really cute little things, they remind me of brine shrimp.
@@tylerwilliams33 They're really interesting insects and by far the most fun to raise. I love spiders and mantises but they don't tend to move much. Roaches are very expressive and active little arthropods and they're social so they have cool interactions with each other. By far some of the most intelligent arthropods in the pet industry. Especially Hissing Roaches!
@@renc7305 I had alot growing up and various tanks and enclosures, it's fun to see what a lot of them can do with their numbers and how their little civilization progresses in its own way as they learn and do new stuff, then the process repeats 🤗 I don't keep any at the moment but I totally agree.🙌
Whats the difference between an German cockroach and a Waterbug? And which two flies? Just asking incase I run into them in the house?
Freaking amazing dude, bugs play a huge and sometimes devastating roll in nature, love your content
Thank you for this!
I used to have a colony of Death's Head Roaches as a teenager and I actually was able to experience some of those births life. And honestly, it was adorable to see.
Huh?
I love what you do for a job, I am also an entomologist but gosh do I wish I can stare at bugs all day.
Absolutely love your channel this stuff is amazing, I know it takes you weeks to do this stuff but thank you for your effort
I had to postpone this video a couple of times before I was ready to watch it. It was grossly amazing! 👍👍
Omg this is something I've been waiting for ages! Thanks!
Living in South Florida and growing up in the less desirable neighborhoods. I grew up seeing these eggs all the time. For the longest I didn't know what they were. Nothing is worse then seeing your floors and counters move!!
Kinda cute how the all come out at the same time, looks like some good teamwork
Wow! Fascinating and amazing, even if it's a little 🤢
I love your videos! Thank you for all the work you put into them. 💚
Viva la cucaracha! Love the shimmying chorus line emerging, and those tiny black eyes! Having been taught cockroach fear as a child in Florida, I've since learned to respect these very ancient survivors.
I was thought fear with FLYING roaches. I would flee the room in the past, but I have a salt gun and foam sword, but roach chitin would necessitate higher salt velocity only achievable with CO2 salt revolver pistol.
This was fascinating. I love insects but would never see all of this up close! Wonderful.
Beautiful footage, I love your work! Thank you for sharing with us ✨🐜💕
i love now the babies come out in a little organized line, very cute
I've never had to deal with cockroaches as pests. Maybe this is why I just find them intelligent, fascinating and even cute sometimes! Awesome video!
Yep, they're great until you almost swallow one because it fell in your water glass at 3am.
Growing up poor is a hell of a drug.
Would almost have the same opinion if i knew they didnt bite
@@wonderpunch4984 they don't bite actually so feel free to love em! I've raised over 30 species as pets and they don't bite. That's why they're popular as feeder insects, they won't bite your frogs or lizards. They make excellent pet insects!
@@renc7305 uh they bite
@@chuckpuck6744 Anything with a mouth can bite but roaches don't bite as a defensive tactic. You're more likely to be bitten by a dog. I've literally handled thousands by this point and have never been bitten. Anyone swearing they bite like ants or can actually hurt you is either misinformed or fear mongering. You can read Orin McMonigle's book on roaches; he's THE authority in the world on these insects and has spent decades studying them. He explains how and why they're not a danger to you. You LITERALLY would have to press a roach headline into your arm to force a bite that can't break skin. You have nothing to fear from a roach.
You know those movies/games where the Alien Eggs somehow resembles the Alien itself?
well...
Didn't realise cockroaches came in multipacks like that. Fascinating.
I didn't even know how a cockroach is born until now. Fascinating!
Oh my!
Now I would love to see the same type of video for every insect species!
this is super cool!! and those baby roaches are adorable
More cockroach content, please! They are truly amazing insects
🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢🤢
You need help brother.
Awww that’s cute, now where’s my flamethrower?
Fascinating footage thanks. Never seen a multiple birth before, some folks really do put all their eggs into one basket.
I've lived in FL my whole life, I've fished for doodle bugs (stick and spiderweb) that whole time! But I've NEVER seen one hatch into adult form!!!!! Or the "egg"!
You rock!!!!
I'm glad I'm not the only one in the comments who finds them kind of cute 😂
You look like a mix between Leonard and Howard, and I love it.
me knowing i have an intense phobia of roaches to the point where im scared even by dead ones but still going to click on this video like
This is interesting considering that I breed dubia roaches for my tarantulas and lizards to eat. Try as I may I've never seen the nymphs emerge. Thank you for sharing, maybe someday I'll catch it, I just had a bunch emerge today but I missed it. Grrr!
A watched egg case never hatches 🤔
This isn’t as disgusting as I thought, it was satisfying and cute Lmaoo their lil eyes 😂
Thank you for the great and informative video!
Gross and amazing all at once. Great job!
It's not gross for me, it's beautiful.
I was also surprised that there are more than 1 cockroach in 1 egg case.
Where's the flame thrower? 💀
The smell alone is the best deterrent. I can smell them through the screen as I watch. So I'll never be inspired by them even if it's actually fascinating to be able to witness the whole process.
I love how they are .rar compressed inside the egg
fascinating, they must be tiny! what's that green patch inside the german ones?
yea the green was very striking too... it can't be algae or any sorta chlorophyll right? maybe it's hemolymph? blue blood + something yellow...
I've never really felt the experience of being grossed out by anything but if I show my wife this she'd freak out.
Seriously dream come true. Thank you.
I honestly like this a lot
what i love about insects is how biomechanical they are compared to other organisms
the egg pouches
the body design and anatomy
it's more mechanical like than most normal organisms
Finally something interesting, haven’t had that for years
Cute little babies!
I know it's a timelapse, but I was still disgusted by the thought they look just as fast coming right out of the egg
This is nightmare fuel for me..
It's been a while since watching a video on CZcams creeped me out but this did it!
Very well engineered
Step on the eggs. Crush them.
That is crazy and disgusting!
That’s cool, I wasn’t planning on sleeping tonight anyway
Big fan of your videos!
Beautiful little fellas 😀
Horrifying yet fascinating. ❤
Fascinatingly horrific! (seriously, love all your stuff)
This is so therapeutic
Looks exactly what I thought a bug expert would look like
They are clean and cute babies.
Only reason people would consider it gross is because they associate roaches with disgusting, filthy places. But if you appreciate them for what they are, by themselves, it can be amazing how your perception of them and other bugs changes. ❤
06:00am - somewhere in Germany
me full on MDMA thinkin' abt how awesome this youtube channel is with all this fascinating & satisfying stuff all around the topics animals & insects
man i love you
Strangely comfy comment.
alright. I love arthropods, but I think this is where I draw the line.
(love your content)
They are so hecking cute
This is terrifying for me and I needed to see it all the way through
So beautiful ❤❤ I love baby roaches theyre so adorbs
They're so excited
They're so cute
It amazes me how they all fit in there
I used to watch this all the time in my apartment as a kid
Very cool!
Adorable.
i still can't believe that these little guys evolved from crustaceans
lovely stuff 😁
Wow! the life cycle of the people of turkey is beautiful.
I don't know what you're talking about, the babies are so cute!!!
Wow !!! Sibscribed straight away 👍
Never thought I’d say “Aww” to a cockroach
Not gross at all
Bloody brilliant
Amazing
When the antennas whipped out! Jeez….just seeing them makes me feel weird stuff all over me and brings me close to tears! Why CZcams! Why recommend me this! 🤣
Ah such lovely creatures . how adorable..❤
Wonderful
Amazing!
People, what you're looking at here is the perfect evolution of adaptive ability. Cockroaches have been around since the beginning of time.
I'm curious, the roach babies have a very distinct color patch on their abdomen closest to the rear; the American cockroaches have a yellow patch whereas the German cockroaches have a green patch. What is the color patch for? Also, is there a particular advantage for having a transparent vs. opaque egg case?
thank you
Everybody gangsta until it starts to fly 😏
nothnig brings me more joy then squishing a pregnant roach. very load popping sound
Not gross at all. Natural and fascinating
loved it!
