Greenhouse gases trap heat from the air, which fuels global warming. Some food-waste had been used as pig feed; however, the clinic has been prohibited after several outbreaks of African swine fever. Even the provider's plant houses a thousand cockroaches that eat their way through 50 tons (45 metric tons) of food scraps a day, a daily mountain of garbage otherwise headed for the landfill.

One name in particular popped him up. He even held that the Cockroach first and completed a form announcing its new name. But that you don't have to hold it name it--I definitely didn't hold one. Knight added, "They are big enough where they seem like they'd be considered a tiny pet rather than just a tiny insect, they're not exactly just bug-size." Once visiting the Cockroach and including a $5 donation to the museum, you can choose an e card to send into the person who you named the Cockroach after.
