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.

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.

I had been with Jithesh to our usual haunts for macro photography. There we saw this cockroach with its babies(nymphs) on its back. Back then we did not know species and also about the unique behavior we were photographing. Its only after we saw Chinmay's post we realised the unique behavior of this species: www.facebook.com/Chinmay.c.maliye/posts/1678897468910783
This cockroach has no known common name but is spread across South India and Sri Lanka. What you are seeing here is the adult female cockroach carrying its nymphs on its back under the wings. There will be about 30-40 hatchlings. Also the other interesting fact is that these nymphs secret pinkish liquid between tergites of their mother’s abdomen. This liquid is like milk to the hatchlings. This kind of behavior is seen in some families of cockroaches across the globe and so not rare or unique. Yet intriguing nonetheless.
A well known late naturalist: Bhoopathy also had made observation on this species which you can read in Wikipedia page here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thorax_porcellana. A recent description of a new frog species from the peculiar appearance: Nasikabtrachus bhupathi is christened in his honour.

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)
I was thrilled to walk into my local Borders today and see that some of the Gomez shots I took for Mezco Toyz have been published in the latest issue of Lee's Toy Review (one even making the cover!). A magazine that I had a subscription to for years, and my personal favorite toy rag.
NOTE: Magazine scan not by me
Some recent sketchbook drawings.
This is a Hissing cockroach. When my son was younger we had several as pets. They really are quite friendly.

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.
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)
This is a male Bark Cockroach -Laxta granicollis - an Australian native species, about 2.5cm long. It was on our kitchen window at night recently.
Many people don't realise that Britain has a few native species of cockroach. They are all small & mostly limited to the south coast counties. Lesser cockroach is the smallest of them, males averaging 7mm long & females just 6mm. Coastal shingle is a known habitat for them & it was nice to turn a few up under the pebbles. They are the first native cockroaches I've ever seen.
Unidentified cockroach. Selangor, Malaysia.
