Description
Members of Periplaneta are commonly misidentified as purely pestilent. Intriguingly, these creatures exhibit remarkable resilience and adaptability, being capable of surviving without their heads for weeks! This ability is thanks to their less centralized nervous system and open circulatory system, which allows them to breathe through spiracles on their body segments. Moreover, they are surprisingly clean, grooming often to keep their sensory receptors sharp.
