Madagascan hissing cockroach giving birth. This video was featured on Animal Planet's Weird, True & Freaky. I am not partial to how the show portrays them to be horrifying, "sci-fi" monsters, and they didn't even talk about the part where she squirts out "cockroach milk" to feed her babies after they're born, which is probably the "freakiest" part to most people

The process is, to say the least, intruiging. It also seems rather lethal for the parent :P

Really?
Then those cockroaches are capable of surviving almost anything.
Why haven't they taken over the world yet?

Give them a chance.
After all, we still dominate the world.
I think.
Hope.

Well a lot of them are sensitive to temperature. That species for example is unlikely to procreate in a normal home over here, too cold for them.
