Cockroach

The ultimate survivor that has outlasted the dinosaurs/Insects & Arachnids

Cockroaches have been around for roughly 300 million years, making them older than dinosaurs by a comfortable margin. The common American cockroach can survive a week without its head, hold its breath for 40 minutes, and sprint at 1.5 meters per second, which is the insect equivalent of about 330 km/h scaled to human size. They can eat almost anything including glue, soap, and other cockroaches, which is both impressive and deeply unpleasant.
