Cockroaches

Disgusting ?

Well, they are.. and looks like they are eternal, never die!

A funny thing here in Australia though, is that there are over 400 hundreds species of NATIVE cockroaches! And none of them are pest or desease-carriers! The ones that are urban pests came from different countries, on ships mainly.

And guess what... some cockroaches are actually very cute, and have inspired aboriginal paintings for many years.

But obviously, because we are talking about Australia, I have to show you also the giant cockroach. That one, maybe isn't that cute, but at least it is a harmless creature =)

If you like the cockroaches, then you may want to check out the Australian Museum website ;)
