Madagascar hissing cockroach

Madagascar hissing cockroach

Posted by Wesley Fleming on 7/4/2007
 Featured by Stephan Pope
One of the largest species of cockroach, reaching 4-5 inches at maturity. Originally from the island of Madagascar off the African coast, where they can be found in rotting logs. Unlike most cockroaches, they are wingless but are excellent climbers and can easily scale smooth glass.

Made of Effetre glass on a GTT Phantom. Measures about 2.5" x 1.5" x 0.5"

    		 Nice Cockroach Wesley
    JDC Roman: I saw something a little way back about big hollywood stars wearing cockroaches as broaches on a leash. I think a glass version would be a bit more desirable. Nice job!
