Reply to comment by di0_joestar in 'Extinct' wood-eating cockroach rediscovered after 80 years by Nikami

Btw, there are over 4000 species of cockroach, and less than 1% are the kind of pests you are probably thinking about. I understand not wanting more of those pets around, but most cockroaches are not that.

I had one with a body at least 5 inches long crawl up my leg in the shower while living in the South Bronx.

Palameto bugs is their name. Thry are harmless and cant survive inside. You usually see them as they realize they are going to die of starvation and start running around frantically trying to get out.
