These roaches form exclusive long-term relationships after eating each other's wings

Scientists have found something interesting about some cockroaches! These cockroaches, called *Salganea taiwanensis*, live in Taiwan and eat wood. A new study shows they might form special relationships, called pair bonding. Pair bonding means two bugs stay together for a long time and don't let other bugs join them. This is like having a best friend who always has your back. The scientists found that these cockroaches eat each other's wings and then form long-term relationships. Usually, we see pair bonding in animals like birds and mammals, but it's rare in insects. This discovery is important because it shows that these cockroaches might be smarter than we thought. They need to remember their partner and work together to protect their home and babies. This *behavior* is not very common in insects. It is very *exclusive*, meaning that they only bond with one other cockroach. The scientists think this could change how we think about insect *cognition*, or how smart they are. This *evidence* suggests that insects are more complex than we previously understood.
