Cockroaches January 31, 2008

As everybody knows, cockroaches have glossy black body, a long feeler and six legs.
They can move fast by using these. But it is not only that. They use also their tails (figure 1) . Their tails are connected directly with the nerve of the foot. This can make the leg begin to move at once, before the brain receives the signal. The obtained information can be passed on to brain even by the feeler in 1/1000 seconds! In addition, they have envolved power full legs. This is that we can’t defeat them. Well, my grandmother can crush them by the heel.
