  I don’t really care what color they are when they are long as your palm and flying at your face.

    I was staying at a hostel in Sydney and It was just me and English girl just chilling in the common area. It was sort of exposed to the outdoors since there was no doors, just an entrance. It just lead to the sheltered outdoor area but each dorm room had their own heavy door.

    We both found out that day that the big roaches that roam there knew how to fly. Not well. Like it struggled to carry it’s own weight. We both had time to react and do something. We both just watched in horror as it flew right into her hair.

    Second night in Florida I was in my shitty rental room’s bathroom, no lights. I thought there was a bat stuck in there with me. And that’s when I learned what a Palmetto bug was.

      Palmetto bugs are fine, they don’t bother and if they’re in your house it’s 'cause they got lost. American cockroaches are big enough to be funny to watch and also don’t cause trouble. The smaller German roach is the nasty pest to kill with fire.

      I learned that the worst thing to do is spray a Florida roach with bug spray. Now he's just pissed at you and looking for revenge.

      I agree with the others. I actually think even the common roach color is pretty and they're fascinating creatures, it's how they behave that triggers a primordial panic.
