Digestion in hissing cockroaches?

Post by lanebbutler »

Hello
i was wondering how a insects digestion works and if there is any information relating pH to effectiveness of digestion or defication.
I am conducting research involving pH levels 5,6,8,9 and i was wondering if this should have a significant role in the digestion of these insects or insects in general.
