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.

The Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina portentosa), also known as the hissing cockroach, Malagasy hissing cockroach or simply hisser, is one of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 5 to 7.5 centimetres (2 to 3 inches) at maturity.

 

They are native to the island of Madagascar, which is off the African mainland, where they are commonly found in rotting logs. It is one of some 20 known species of large hissing roaches from Madagascar, many of which are kept as pets, and often confused with one another by pet dealers; in particular, G. portentosa is commonly confused with G. oblongonota[1][better source needed] and G. picea.

.

Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless. The "hissing" sound (expelling air through their bodies) is their primary defense, to frighten potential predators, as they cannot fly and are easily captured. They are excellent climbers and can scale smooth glass.

 

Males can be distinguished from females by their thicker, hairier antennae and the very pronounced bumps on the pronotum. Females carry the ootheca internally and release the young nymphs only after the offspring have emerged within them (this is known as ovoviviparity).

 

As in some other wood-inhabiting roaches, the parents and offspring will commonly remain in close physical contact for extended periods of time. They feed primarily on vegetable material. Wikipedia

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.

Drymaplaneta semivitta is a species of cockroach native to Australia and introduced to New Zealand. In New Zealand, it is known as the Gisborne cockroach, after the city of Gisborne where it was first discovered in the country. It has also been claimed to have first appeared in Tauranga in 1954, probably arriving on a log shipment.

 

One of the larger cockroaches, Drymaplaneta semivitta is about 20–45mm long and 12–15mm wide. It is a glossy dark brown, with distinctive tan or white coloured translucent stripes along each side of its head. Unlike many cockroaches, it has no vestigial wings.

 

In males, the third and fourth maxillary palps are enlarged, and the hind tibiae are flattened and expanded.

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)

And especially no cockroaches who think they're kings.

Some recent sketchbook drawings.

This is a Hissing cockroach. When my son was younger we had several as pets. They really are quite friendly.

Therea petiveriana, Family: Corydiidae

a beautiful Lesser Cockroach from the Firehills of Hastings Country Park - three were found today in the area of recent habitat work, old single-age gorse was removed to allow the regeneration of maritime heathland, species count is showing improvement.

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.

Never seen one of these big cockroaches before!

Polyzosteria limbata

Little suckers eat everything in the garden. Nature is cruel. Why did cockroaches have to survive? Where they on Noah’s Ark too? Be glad you don’t have to live in my mind for more than a Nano second! My mind is a God given one and I’m grateful for it. I’m happy I don’t see things the way most people do!

This was a first time sighting and capture for me, it sure does remind me of a Trilobite!

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)
