This is so obscene but I love it. There is a company called Johnson-Smith that sold huge, SHINY, very realistic foot-and-a-half long roaches for about $35 each. I would buy them as I could afford them, & I AM SO GLAD I DID, because of course they stopped carrying them. I have 31. They are disgusting. Someone once calculated how much that all came to, & told me I could take a cheap cruise on that amount, but not being good at math, & using selective memory, I have chosen to forget this.

Nice educational video.
I used to catch several kinds of bugs when I was a kid, including this one.
Despite their reputation of being “pests”, just about all the bugs are interesting in some way or another.
