Female cockroach with egg pouch. Walpole WA

Can you identify any adaptations for male-male combat in these photos? (Compare the males and females!)

 

(In this photo, the blurry brown lines are the male's antennae, which he was waving up and down at the time)

Ellipsidion in a soft red light due to the mass of camellia flowers it was hiding amongst.

A native Cockroach Ellipsidion humeralis possibly. In my garden.

In New Zealand known as the "Gisborne Cockroach"

This cockroach is exploring our insect room (under supervision). Observe how easily he is able to climb over the edge of the table. What adaptations might help with that? Why might such an ability evolve?

feeding on a mango stone in a gully somewhere at manila bay.

Disgustingly huge hissing cockroach. I'm going to go back with a tripod next time and get some better shots.

The rain continues to bucket down in North-East Victoria, Australia! so the macro critters are scarce.

 

I was working and saw this little cockroach crawling across the carpet. I was going to put it outside but couldn't resist taking a few shots before its release.

I put it on an indoor cyclamen plant and found it very hard to keep up with, boy can these creatures move fast.

 

I did get a few chances where it stopped for a few moments and was very interested to see it put its head up, not a position you usually see as they most often carry their head down low.

 

When viewed this way you can see a little bit of resemblance of a mantis.

This one was very light coloured and was around 7mm.

Cosmozosteria sp. Fitzroy Island, QLD.

Not exotic, just adding to the record of cockroach exploration.

ゴキブリさんが鍋で溺死していた... このタイプのゴキブリを宮崎で見たのは初めてです。 宮崎でよく見るのはサツマゴキブリとかちゃばねとかですね。

 

Drowned in a hot pot... Ive never seen this type of cockroach in Miyazaki

  

This is an improvement of the model I folded 8 years ago. The legs and antennas are much longer. The paper is too thick to make the antennas thinner and for adding details to the legs.

Perisphaerus sp., Blattaria: Blaberidae
