Ant Lab | Timelapses of Cockroach Egg Cases Hatching! @AntLab | Uploaded June 2022 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
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: youtu.be/bnPWU-mqGL8

Thanks to Prof. Coby Schal & Rick Rick Santangelo for supplying the roaches! Thanks to Nicolás Galvez for assistance on this project.
