"Translucent Cockroach Babies Hatch in Creepy Footage"

National Geographic's new series "A Real Bug's Life" captures the skin-crawling moment translucent cockroach larvae burst from their leathery egg case, a process that took six months of trial and error to film. Typically found in sewers and drains, female American cockroaches produce one egg case per month to protect around 16 eggs, and capturing this footage in the wild would have been impossible, so entomologist Tim Cockerill and cinematographer Nathan Small placed cockroach egg cases in a controlled environment to film the hatching process.

"Cockroach's Cosmic Plunge: Surviving a Fall from Space"

A physicist explores whether a cockroach could survive a fall from space by simplifying the problem and considering the effects of air resistance. Using numerical calculations, it is determined that a cockroach falling from space would reach a terminal velocity of 1.5 meters per second (3.3 mph) upon impact with the Earth. The cockroach's ability to move quickly on the ground suggests it could survive the impact. Additionally, the article discusses the effects of air resistance on different objects, including a tennis ball and a bowling ball, and explores the heating that occurs during the fall.

Cockroaches are resilient insects that can cause health problems and spread germs, but their abilities are being studied for potential applications in robotics.
