Cockroaches... as far as I'm aware, they don't contribute anything to the eco system, they're just pests.

Unfortunatelly, not even a nuclear war can erradicate them ๐Ÿ˜’.

'Cockroach' encompasses a wide range of species, the majority of which have no interest in living in a human's home, and contribute to the work of decomposition on the forest floor. Many smaller predators also eat them.

Just learned recently that there are over 3000 species of cockroaches and about 10 are invasive to humans.

That's an incredible statistic. Where did you learn that?

I was watching the streamer piratesoftware who before he became a programmer/hacker was in college for entomology.
