Dorsal view of an adult Surinam cockroach (Pycnoscelus surinamensis) I found under some wooden boards behind a motel. It is probably a parthenogenetic female. Thanks for the ID, stevenw12339!
This was amazing. There is also a movie so that you too can be amazed by how fast this action was happening ;-) www.flickr.com/photos/zosterops/5354216608/
At first we thought we were seeing one of our big cockroaches running at its normal fast pace. We then noticed the wasp and thought that there was a battle going on....cockroach running like mad and wasp on it. Then there was a pause, and we realised that the cockroach was completely immobilised and the wasp was pulling this gigantic creature at a rate of knots with no help.
I'm not sure if we disturbed it, or it just needed a rest, but the wasp flew off a short distance then came back, latched its hind feet over that big first head segment bit (I'm sure has a name) and took off again. Amazing. We saw a repeat performance a day later on the other side of the park.
By the way...I have no idea where Montumana is, and have never heard of it, but I have placed it in the correct location on the map...
