I captured upclose macro timelapse sequences of cockroach egg cases hatching and roach nymphs emerging! I think it's both amazing and squirminducing 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:    • Cockroaches Can Jump & Fly?! In slow ...  

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