So, ages ago there was a Mobile Frame Zero design contest. One of the prizes was an MgN-333. A combination of apathy (regarding Lego, not regarding the concept of giving the prize to the deserving winner) and business stopped me actually building the prize.
Rather than build another boring old MgN, I decided to do another version of the fantastic Locust. I'm not sure it's quite finished yet, as there may be a few little tweaks that need done, but at least it's getting there.
Therea petiveriana, Family: Polyphagidae
Therea petiveriana, variously called the "desert cockroach", "seven-spotted cockroach" or "Indian domino cockroach", is a species of crepuscular (active only during dawn/dusk) cockroach found in southern India. They are members of a basal group within the cockroaches. This somewhat roundish and contrastingly marked cockroach is mainly found on the ground in scrub forest habitats where they may burrow under leaf-litter or loose ground during the heat of the day.
Like other cockroaches, they use chemical pheromones to communicate with each other. When disturbed, they are said to raise their wings and evert lateral glands, which is their alarm/alert notification.
The species has been said to be one of the few cockroaches with "grace and beauty"
This species is popular as a pet in many parts of the world and are easy to keep.

Mi mujer no la soporta, pero a mí me parece un bicho como pocos.
La voy a hacer copia y la pondré en donde no quiera que pase jajaja.

This little cockroach had shed its shell so was a lovely golden colour.
Not a hissing cockroach but definitely a strange type of cockroach that seemed to carry it's ootheca (egg sack) under its abdomen.
Probably a male Catara rugosicollis?

I like seeing these native cockroaches in the garden.

These large native cockroaches are always a pleasure to find.
They are approx 40mm long and are widespread in the South West of Western Australia and a few sightings in South Australia and Victoria.
The colour of them varies in different areas.
David Rentz describes this cockroach as "One of the most distinctive and widespread species in the genus.
The 'windows' on each thoracic segment and the blue legs are not shared by any other species."
"A Guide to the Cockroaches of Australia" David Rentz 2014
"Feeding and diet
Native cockroaches feed in trees on pollen, bark and leaf material. Some species in the genus Panesthia have adapted to eating decomposing wood, and have similar micro-organisms in their gut as those found in termites (Order Isoptera)." australian.museum/learn/animals/insects/native-cockroache...

Cockroaches, to most westerners, are synonomous with filth. However, the blattodea are a diverse, adaptable and fascinating order, not to be painted and tarnished with the same brush as a few isolated species (whose invasive introduction you can thank your forebears by the way). They can be beautiful, colourful and their role as detritivores in the rainforest is hugely important. These underappreciated and reviled insects will be the focus of an upcoming blog post.

Here is a cool, cute little bug from the Mojave Desert yesterday, spotted by a friend when he turned over a chunk of a fallen Joshua tree limb. It's a female sand cockroach (family Corydiidae). Females are wingless and roundish, kinda like an isopod (roly-poly/pillbug), and burrow in the sand. Males fly & look like small "regular" roaches. They don't bother people or try to enter homes. Like the vast majority of cockroach species, they stay outside and live their best bug life, nibbling detritus and minding their own business. This one was the size of a black bean. Love her fancy fringe.
