I walked into the kitchen on a nightly basis to these critters. Every time, I nearly had a heart attack. I *hate* cockroaches.
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

American cockroaches can enter and use pipes as pathways. The water has evaporated from this toilet, making it a possible movement pathway.

These cockroaches had enormous antennae and lived in my room. God knows how many of them were around, but they'd scatter quickly if you shone your torch at them. I even woke up with them on me a couple of times thanks to a hole in my mosquito net.
We love geckos! And we've lost count of how many patrol our fly screens each night to feast on the insect life that is drawn to the lights inside. I've seen this before, but haven't managed to capture it. The gecko makes quite a noise shaking the cockroach around until it is eventually swallowed whole.
Triptych study of a dead cockroach. Not going to be to everyone's tastes but there's a bit of the macabre in me that wants to extend this theme about death and decay.
I decided that despite how much fun Ada was having with live prey, there was no knowing where that roach had been, so I captured it by letting her chase it into my dust pan and depositing it in the porcelain throne. Where it started doing laps.
This is a Palmetto tree. The less attractive branches have to be cut by the city. Coackroaches love to breed in the crevices of this tree.
this kind of cockroach i haven't seen one around. actually it was my first time seeing one. is this a new species hahhaha i can't stop saying i've found a new species. it has a very distinguished look like the other boring and scary cockroach. you can notice it has no wings, and that sporting backside part of his body i don't know what it is. is it the abdoment? he is very calm though. doesn't move fast and he doesn't fly, so i can take a closer look.
size is about the same with other cockroaches. found it at my homestay/boarding house.
