After a cockroach molts, the exterior body will look white, until the cockroach has time to develop its darker coloring.
Saw this out in the garden, still a horrible insect.

Have a nice Sunday
Social distancing is not enough...
Photo made by Yashica Matt 6x6 analogue B&W around 1976.
Negative scanned and processed in Lightroom.
that's the time that great photographs can be made outdoors. Isn't it interesting what an important component of photographs is the simple atmosphere in which we live. That's supposedly transparent but becomes alive in a photograph in when it's not :-)

A nice greenly coloured individual of Knobbly Margined Cockroach from the South Australian Mallee. This species seemingly varies from quite metallic to more matte appearance, but always has numerous raised bumps and ridges.
There are more than 4500 species of cockroach. Of those, only a couple dozen species are associated with people, and really only about four kinds are pests. Most just wander around in the forest, nibbling on dead leaves and fungus and stuff. Recycling, really. This is a non-pesky, well-armored, cool-looking one from Madagascar. I think it's kind of pretty, all shiny like it's made of patent-leather.(unknown sp., Andasibe, Madagascar)
Some recent sketchbook drawings.
This is a Hissing cockroach. When my son was younger we had several as pets. They really are quite friendly.

That one devil from Chainsaw Man part 2, made in one day for the fun of it :)
Found on the fly wire door on the outside of my patio. Some wonderful patterns on the back of this insect. Not a native Cockroach but different from the big black ones occasionally found inside at this time of year. German cockroach (Blattella germanica)
In Australian slang or perhaps colloquialisms, especially in sport, Queenslanders are known as "Cane Toads" and New South Wales people "Cockroaches". Other states have different names again, for example Western Australians are known as "Sand Gropers". The Qld/NSW names become prominent particularly during the rivalry between states in the Rugby League State of Origin series.
This shot is of the Wallangarra station which sits on the border between two states and was a change of gauge station, therefore change of trains from Queensland's 3 foot 6 inch to NSW's 4 foot 8 1/2 inch. When the more direct semi-coastal route via Kyogle was opened between Brisbane and Sydney, trains via the Wallangarra route to between the capital cities were basically superseded and both lines became of local importance only until closed or more or less moth balled. The line up from Sydney is now closed and only goes as far as Armidale and the line from Brisbane, while still nominally open only sees occasional heritage trains operate from Warwick and less so, Brisbane.
The border actually crosses the platform diagonally but this side features in situ but closed NSW tracks. The Queensland tracks are on the other side of the platform and the goods interchange yard is behind me. Over to the right is the small NSW town of Jennings and its pub (photo posted in the last fortnight) while to the left is the small Qld town of Wallangarra. This view looks north into Queensland.
The railways station is also the site of a lovely cafe and small museum. The link to the wikipedia article below explains the history of the station and the lines.
Sand cockroach females are wingless and live underground - I found this one near Palm Desert, California, under a fallen branch in a desert wash.
