I actually like roaches. Maybe it's how advanced as a species they are.

Here is a fact about German roaches:

Females produce one egg capsule every 3-4 weeks. Each capsule contains 25-45 eggs. The female will carry the egg capsule with her until it is ready to hatch. The young(nymphs) will be able to breed in as little as 36 days.


1 roach can have 30 babies a month, assuming half are female, that's 15 more reproducing roaches a month.

1 roach = 15 reproducing roaches per month.
those 15 will have 30 each, again assume only half can reproduce.
So those 15 will have 15 each, and they will have 15 each...
all the while the first roach is still making 15 more reproducing every month...

I get so confused.


Can someone do the math for me?
How many roaches and offspring can 1 single female roach produce in a year?

Fuck, I should make this a contest.

ok, winner gets a male and female madagascar hissing cockroach (if they want).
