The world's heaviest cockroach is the Australian burrowing cockroach can grow up to three and half inches long, and they weigh about the same as a parakeet.
They can weigh up to 35g and measure up to 80 mm
Believe it or not these insects are becoming popular pets in Australia!
The Australian burrowing cockroach eats dry Eucalyptus leaves, and by doing so they serve an important function in Australian ecology; they recycle nutrients from the dry Eucalyptus leaves back into the earth.
Though wingless and slow moving, they can live for up to ten years. And unlike the cockroaches you’re used to, these creatures bear live young.
