Do a cockroach lives without head?

Answer 1

Yes. Some species can live for from 9 to 14 days if it loses its head. The nervous system can operate independently of the brain, and it breathes through its abdomen. So the head is not as vital as for higher animals. It will, however, be unable to eat and will eventually starve.

Nine Days...before starving to death.

Answer:

Science has investigated this issue. Scientific American reports survival times as "several weeks" other researchers give a more conservative "two weeks" and some "a week". Unlike us, they don't breathe through their mouths and have several brains scattered throughout their bodies.

As an aside, the longest life span for a headless animal appears to be Mike the Headless Chicken (April 1945 - March 1947), also known as Miracle Mike, was a Wyandotte chicken that lived for 18 months after his head had been mostly cut off. The bird was to the University of Utah in Salt Lake City to validate the story.
