@ptdefiancezoo: A truly rare sight! 🪳 This Madagascar hissing cockroach is giving live birth, an incredible process you don’t often see captured. Unlike many insects that lay eggs, female hissers carry their egg case internally until the young are ready to emerge (often 20-40 at a time). When born, the tiny nymphs are soft and white, gradually hardening and darkening as they grow. #pointdefiancezoo #cockroach #madagascarhissingroach #zoo
