Cockroach milk is sourced from the Pacific Beetle cockroach, a type of roach that gives birth to live offspring and produces ‘milk’, which it feeds its embryos through a ‘brood sac’ (essentially a cockroach womb). There is, in fact, no actual ‘milking’ involved: scientists need to carve out the cockroach’s gut in order to access the milk, which is in the form of crystals.
Why would cockroaches HAVE milk? They don’t nurse young or anything like that
That’s somehow even worse than my original mental image. Great work science!
Not worse as the insect shit we eat in the morning, called Honey.
Delicious bee puke, i can’t wait to do a line of roachmilk.
Maybe some recipes or how to make cheese.
So we could smash those up and snort them, could we not?
Nothing like snorting a fresh line of crystalized cockroach gut milk in the morning to start the day off right 🥰
Snort milk every day
snorting is so…21st century.
Damn. I figured it was just grinded up cockroaches.
