Delighted to find this insect after fire swept the site in recent past. Some pockets of habitat escaped the fire and survivers from them can repopulate the surrounding land as the vegetation recovers. Not one of the pest species that might infest crowded city tenements. This insect is only about the length of a little fingernail.

Calalampra sp.

Family: Blaberidae

Order: Blattodea

 

Size about 18mm. Spines are present on front femora. Two ocelli are present. Cerci short. Tarsi are without spines.

Dear diary,

 

This is no fun anymore! In our absence some giant cockroaches made their nest inside our base. I ran away screaming like a little girl. John on the other hand was having the time of his life ...

oh all right...a large cockroach

 

Trilha dos tucanos, Sao Paulo State, Brazil

Finished my Lictor this morning after being away for a week's break. I bought the Venomthrope box while away but built the Zoanthrope variants which left me with three nice Tyranid heads. I wasn't at all happy with the cast on the Lictor's head- it was full of bubbles and quite scrappy looking so I was glad to be able to replace it.

The head is slightly different and is missing the mandibles but it is close enough and worth the sacrifice.

I have, since taken this picture, added some slobber to the tentacles.

Just as a note, I realise the Lictor has active camo but painting it in a camo state is beyond my meagre painting abilities and I don't believe he would be in camouflage mode all the time so I have painted him in tune with the rest of my Nids and for fluffy reasons if Tyranids think in the way we do he is taking five and has reverted to his fleets colour scheme.

I am really going to have to make an effort with the Gaunts- I bore easily and thus can't batch paint. I am thinking I'll maybe do three at a time in between other projects and that way they will be mounting up and not feel like such a chore.

I haven't worked out a list yet so I haven't got any Idea how many Termagants and Hormagaunts I am going to require. I think I have about 30 termagants and a box of Hormagaunts (12 maybe) so I am going to need a few more (groan) Actually I don't mind doing them if they aren't pre builts (which several are)

Did you forget Mothers' Day? Don't fret - here's a present that will make your mum glad you were a bit slow. Or at least make a change from chocolates and fluffy slippers. It's A Guide to the Cockroaches of Australia.

Looks like a useful book with keys to help sort them out. :-)

  

From our recent trip to the Cevennes

Oriental Cockroach Grub, Mae Hia, Chiang Mai, Thailand

Woman in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, selling fried cockroaches - a popular snack.

Nice day that day and I went to play golf with my relative. I saw this cockroach laying egg by the golf entrance building. Glad I always brought my pocket cam with me when I went to do sports.

An old panorama done in a low level in the bathroom. It was just a bit of imagination for how would a cockroach see the world.

There rare stitching errors of course and I didn't fix them thoroughly - but I can say it was a success compared to previously failed attempts!

In Linno Cave, Burma, fishermen and their children collect the cockroaches that feed on the mountains of bat guano. Fauna & Flora International.

Really cool cockroach. Not sure of its ID.

So this is it. I'm not dead, just a bit busy.

I could use better proportions I guess. I'd folded the base for this quite a while ago but I was inspired to continue folding it after chatting with a new friend I made =)
