Okay, this is very strange, but this morning my son killed a roach. It was one of the smaller redish ones that dont fly. When he squished it with a shoe, it died, but something started to come out of its "butt". I thought maybe it was feces.. but it kept coming out.. it ended up being about 6 times as long as the bug itself. It finally came all the way out of the dead roach, and started moving around like a snake. I mean curling itself up and "slithering" around... until after about 2 or 3 minutes it also died. What could this have possibly been? Do bugs get tapeworms? It was the strangest thing I have ever seen, and it really freaked me out!!

It looked like a tiny snake... it was full of movement, reaching up in the air and everything...

I don't believe cockroaches can get tapeworms. They are limited to mamals.
All insects can get other parasites though.
