ゴキブリさんが鍋で溺死していた... このタイプのゴキブリを宮崎で見たのは初めてです。 宮崎でよく見るのはサツマゴキブリとかちゃばねとかですね。
Drowned in a hot pot... Ive never seen this type of cockroach in Miyazaki
This is an improvement of the model I folded 8 years ago. The legs and antennas are much longer. The paper is too thick to make the antennas thinner and for adding details to the legs.
In an experiment carried out at the University of California, Berkeley in 1991, a Periplaneta americana registered a record speed of 5.4 kilometres per hour (3.4 mph), about 50 body lengths per second, which would be comparable to a human running at 330 kilometres per hour (210 mph).
It has a pair of large compound eyes each having over 2000 individual lenses, and is a very active night insect that shuns light.

This paper was very thin so it was easy to shape the legs.
American cockroaches are among the largest of the roaches in NY. They love dark, warm, wet areas such as basement boiler rooms and steam tunnels. They feed on just about anything. They also invade structures usually from sewer pipes and drains carrying germs and disease organisms. For more Information: www.nysipm.cornell.edu/whats_bugging_you/cockroaches/defa...
Last night when I came home there was a cockroach on the window frame in the kitchen. I grabbed the nearest blunt object ... in this case a spoon ... and wacked it. I had no idea I had such good hand eye coordination!
After a few eeks & yucks I wandered off.
This morning his leg & bits were still attached to the window frame so I decided to document evidence of the crime.
Perhaps I should leave it there as a warning to all other cockroaches who dare to come into my house.....

For a hot humid place, Hawaii has remarkable few bugs. While I did read that mosquitoes do exist there, I don't usually notice any bites, and I am usually the first one to get bitten. We only saw the one cockroach, which had impressively large antennae. Apparently geckos help keep the cockroach population at bay.
