Colossus Cockroach

Why would anyone be interested in the colossus cockroach? Yes, they are the largest cockroach in the world. Quite disgusting too. Just look at the photo.

I took this picture early this year at the Rochester Museum and Science Center in New York state. These are actually live roaches and they are this big.

Imagine coming across this critter at night in the kitchen. Yuck!
