I’ve lost track of how many weeks Clarence has been alive for, in captivity in my ‘Discovery Tube’ tube - in fact I only remember one out of every two days that he still lives. He doesn’t want to seem to die. His movements are quite slow now, and he always sits on the bottom of the tube (as it is positioned in an up-right fashion). Put yourself in Clarence’s situation; oh, how boring it would be to live in a ‘Discovery Tube’ amongst the many pieces of your own poo.

The last time I caught a cockroach, I too did an experiment. I have heard many-a-times that cockroaches can survive after being frozen for a few hours. And so that, I did. I placed the cockroach in the freezer for approximately 2.453671957236 hours and then placed the jar in the sun so that it would resurrect itself from the dead. I then waited. And waited so did I, for about 4 hours. By this time I had forgotten about it, the sun had set, and still remained dead did the cockroach. I think that was a special anti-freeze species of cockroach.

Let’s hope Clarence is equipped with anti-freeze to see him through the winter days. Goodnight children, goodnight.
