For many people, cockroaches are one of the most "hideous" creatures on the planet because of their stingy, tough life. Recent research by Belgian scientists shows the new characteristics of cockroaches, which are also "shy" like humans.

To draw this conclusion, experts from the Libre de Bruxelles University (Belgium) have studied the behavior of cockroaches when dropping them in the natural environment. They hypothesize that, if all of these cockroaches have the same personality, they will behave identically when outdoors. But the truth has shown the opposite.

Isaac Planas Sitjà, the head of the study, said : "We have classified the characteristics of the cockroach, watching them crawl in an open space outdoors.

When newly released into the new environment, there are bold, busy individuals looking for food, but some of them seek shelter for themselves. We call it "shy, cautious" and "daring, adventurous".

Shy individuals often take the time to hide and explore the surroundings. Instead, those "brave" individuals spend most of their time scouring around, learning the terrain and their food sources.

Isaac Planas Sitjà added: "We learn the behavior of cockroaches to help classify and provide more information about the relationship between personality and social behavior. Moreover, personal personality is also It has a great impact on the survival of the whole group, because only a few individuals go against the group's decision, most likely will be life-threatening. "

In one study, American scientists equipped radio equipment to track cockroach movement. These insects are divided into groups, each consisting of 16 individuals and placed in the dark for a period of time.

After that, each nest will be released into an "arena" that has the surrounding wire to prevent their escape.

Here, experts measure the speed at which cockroaches find shelter and time to discover new supplies of food. Since all individuals are not identical in character, having no consensus can make that group take time to find shelter. This means increasing the chances of being hunted by others.

Shy insects are more likely to evade enemies because they spend a lot of time in mysterious places but at the same time, they will easily get hungry.
