Tyrion Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 So I was taking a gentle stroll through the endless pages of Wikipedia...I ended up on cockroaches.. Lo and behold what I found in the trivia section: The largest known cockroach by wingspan is a Megaloblatta longipennis, with an 18 cm wingspan.
Commander Obi-Wan Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 OH...that's nice to hear. You goota love those cockroaches.........*sarcasm*
El Sitherino Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 ... Thank god, I thought this was going to be a story about how you woke up and found a cockroach sitting on your nethers.
IG-64 Posted February 4, 2006 Posted February 4, 2006 Heres a picture of it. Threre's also apparently a dragonfly, a grasshopper, a moth, and a few birds with the same name. Yes, I googled it. And it didn't come up with anything gross.
Kain Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Ah ha...ha ha ha...AH HAHAHAHAHA!!! Thats horrible.
Sabretooth Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Heres a picture of it. Oh, man, you're sick. It's a good thing somebody told me that's a cockroach, 'coz I was thinking...
Good Sir Knight Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Yeah that's pretty gross... not only is it a cock roach but...yeah So nasty... I'm glad we've never had those things.
ChAiNz.2da Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 Heres a picture of it. The scary thing about that pic, is that if it grew to 18cm (apx 7 in.), it's still 7.6cm (3 in.) smaller than actual size (well, in wingspan at least) still... *shiver* I need bigger boots Imagine cleaning up the squashed goo from stomping one of those... ... Thank god, I thought this was going to be a story about how you woke up and found a cockroach sitting on your nethers. :lol:
TiE23 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 That thing could make a good house pet. What would someone feed it? Small kittens?
MTV2 Posted February 5, 2006 Posted February 5, 2006 "Megaloblatta" mega low blatter? wow, cockroachs, weird insects.
