Why cockroaches need their friends
By Matt Walker
The much maligned cockroach is more sophisticated, and social, than we thought, according to new research.
They hide away, unseen, lurking in dark corners and crevices.
When they emerge, they aimlessly scurry and swarm, often around our houses, kitchens and supposedly dirty hotels and restaurants.
We end up despising them for their natural behaviour, seeing them as nothing more than pests to be avoided, exterminated even.
But cockroaches have in many ways been given a raw deal.
