AHHHHHHHH!


check it out! this thing is huge, this picture does no justice! this thing was HUGE!
let me just tell you a little something about these nasty bugs. (Periplaneta american) This cockroach occurs outdoors and indoors, and often infests basements and sewer systems. These large cockroaches are capable of flying, but usually remain on the ground. The female produces an egg case every month for about 10 months; there are about 16 eggs per egg case. this is just one of the many cockroaches there are. good thing that i decided to live in a place where there is an infestation no matter where you go.....
i am glad that i didn't find this at my house, it was in a house that we clean! the thing was so big that it wouldn't go down the drain in the bathtub so we had to flush it down the toilet!

Did you know that a cockroch can live for about 14 days without it's head. i don't know why i know that!
