The next time you see a giant cockroach while in danger, due to natural disasters, you do not hurry to hurry.

The cockroach can now be an ideal tool for rescue and reconnaissance campaigns.

Results reported on News.com.au show that US experts have found a way to control and order cockroaches to move their minds, via a tiny control device attached to the cockroaches back, connected to beard and abdomen.

Experts say "cockroaches" are extremely useful tools that are cheap, and they are not surprised to find they can survive the nuclear war.

Cockroaches have been proven to adapt most living environments, survive a month of hunger, spend weeks without drinking water and nearly an hour in the absence of air. Once severed, cockroaches continue to live for several days.
