How do Madagascar hissing cockroaches hiss?

Just like other insects they breath through spiracles in their abdomen. Since they are relatively large insects diffusion alone is not sufficient hence they visibly contract their body in order to 'exhale'. Every segment on the abdomen has two spiracles; the ones in the second segment are also used to produce the hissing sound. Since insects have no blood circulation, miniscule tubes connected to the spiracles provide cells directly with oxygen.

Can a cockroach change a light bulb?

*You just never know. From your question I would assume it's YOU that needs the help in screwing in the light bulb. If you have Cockroaches then get them to do it! *I'll assume that you aren't just joking. The answer is, no. While they are as remarkable in their ability to survive anywhere as they are unpleasant to have around, and even though their survival skills have evolved from the days of the dinosaurs, they haven't quite reached the point where they can meddle with mechanical devices. If you have a lightbulb that becomes loose, I think you'll have to look for a different culprit than the cockroach. Although, if you see them doing it, please let us know. Here's another exotic possibility. Since all buildings actually vibrate a little, maybe the light bulb is in just the right place for the normal vibration of the building to cause it to work loose. Pretty unlikely, I'll admit. More likely than an electrician cockroach though.
