a big and beautiful Blaberus giganteus seen in Costa Rica. I removed it from someone else’s cabin, and it posed nicely on a palm (after prickling me with its leg spines), then fluttered off into the jungle
very nice! gromp mutts were my first ever pet and I haven’t gone a year since six years old without having a blaberid within arm’s reach. still wish I could find them flying around outdoors all the time though…
