Nobody likes cockroaches? What about entomologists? Certainly they are interesting in terms of their adaptability and from an evolutionary perspective. Do you know that the German cockroach is rapidly evolving resistance to many forms of chemical insecticide.

Also, like many species, they do try to clean themselves. Those cockroaches infesting your home groom themselves frequently. They do so by running their legs and antennae through the mouth, cleaning themselves with bodily secretions. Dirty cockroaches become impaired, unable to navigate properly or find food or mates.

That and I have read some species (hissing, deaths head) make good pets.
