Thread: Couldn't sleep last night

Many times they have opened bundles and had some freakish looking giant bug come scurrying out and disappear into the warehouse.

I know how this is. I once worked in a warehouse with two other guys. One day I saw this HUGE roach run to a corner and hollered about it. My co-workers said "how big was it?" "Had a rat in his mouth" I replied. I had to start laughing at the looks on their faces or they might have quit.

Do roaches have mouths?

My husband said his co-worker once found this flattened, mummified odd looking frog/toad between stacks of fabric, they still have it in their reveiving area as their mascot!

Hey, I don't know. Never kissed one. Careful with that toad if it was from Africa. They have a poison ones. Really.

Texas has the biggest roaches
American Cockroach Life Cycle:
Females produce egg cases and carry them protruding from the tip of the abdomen for about two days. Egg cases are then generally placed on a surface in a hidden location. The female may glue the egg case to the side of a structure or interior wall of a basement. These egg cases may sometimes be found lying loosed in mulched flower beds and compost piles. Egg cases are 3/8 inch long, brown, and purse shaped. Immature cockroaches emerge from egg cases in 6 to 8 weeks. The nymphs require 6 to 12 months to mature. Adult cockroaches can live up to one year, during which females produce an average of 150 young.

not unlike other unwanted pests
