Is a cockroach a beetle? - I'm not sure... So I went to Wikipedia's cockroach page and it looks as though it belongs to an order of insect called Blattodea. Other interesting facts include:  The world's largest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach, which can grow to 9 cm in length and weigh more than 30 grams. Any chance of a photo of that one Andy? | ||

| Is that so? The things you learn :-) I'm considering bringing in a 'must be alive' ruling specialy for Bob. I loathe cockroaches, one of the few creepy crawlies that really give me the creeps, if faced with a 9cm one I'd probably scream and run away waving my arms, sorry. It'd be pretty cool to have a photo of it though - anyone want to lend me a telephoto? I have a display bug on this page - the inserted image and the quote overlap. Not too bad, all the text is in the right place and readable it's just the purple background block of the quote container. | ||

| Hey! Read the Title!!! This sucker was still alive. Just laying on his back. Maybe he was doing his morning exercises. Leg lifts or something.... But if you don't like cock-a-roaches don't go to Florida. They live in the palm trees and get big enough to ride. (Well, that's an exaggeration, but you can Super Glue one to the bottom of each shoe and .... ;o) | ||

| Been to Florida, didn't see any though I don't think. I know the title _says_ still twitchin, but look at the thing! More likely to be rigor mortis setting in or gas escapes than actual life I'd say... not that I want you to think I don't appreciate the contribution or anything ;-) | ||

| > I have a display bug on this page - the inserted image and the quote overlap. Not too bad, all the text is in the right place and readable it's just the purple background block of the quote container. I've been trying to fix this one for years... it's a css thing. The image floats on the left but css says that any div's should use the full width... regardless of if something is floating there. I've decided to live with it - it's seen as above fairly rarely. | ||
