Macropanesthia rhinoceros
The Giant Burrowing Cockroach is the world's heaviest cockroach, weighing up to 30 grams and reaching 8 cm in length. These smooth, shiny brown cockroaches never have wings and live in permanent burrows in the soil where females care for their young.
The giant burrowing cockroach is also known as the rhinoceros cockroach, Queensland giant cockroach, and litter bug. These cockroaches are native to Australia and mostly found in tropical parts of Queensland.

My favorite roach! If I could find a red one, they would make a good Christmas shot.
A closeup view of its unique jaw and mouth-piece structure. A very unique design indeed.

Ironically after shooting another wasp species much later that I finally got it actual name....it's an Emerald cockroach wasp. This came about when a friend of mine, Victor positively id the other wasp species as Jewel wasp which I had photograhed. While trying to fish out more info on the jewel, stumble upon a web site that described the exact species of the wasp shown. It has got a very unusual preying strategy and a strange reproductive behavior. Read more of this wasp....

I think this is (or it was) an undescribed species of Balta . From what I gather there is now work being done on cockroaches in the north of the state. Maybe it has a name now?
This came in under our dog's food bowl. It had to tolerate a few photos before it was sent back outside :-)
Not sure what species this is. Looks similar but different to those other cockroaches from Hong Kong.
Final couple of images from my Hong Kong trip.

Cockroach (Blattodea) & offspring - Yasuni National Park, Ecuador
Not an award winning photo but the first time I have seen parental behavior in a cockroach. This roach was attending its young on a leaf in the rainforest. I couldnt get the best angle without disturbing all the vegetation surrounding them so I settled for a quick shot, when I came back hours later the little roachlets had turned a darker color but were still near the parent (mother?) underneath a nearby leaf. As it turns out parenting is not unheard of in roaches and quite a few species display various levels of parenting.
I'm not sure if this was teneral, but it was larger than our usual garden finds, in a curl of leaf. It has very long cerci too.
