Well a very good friend of mine came and stayed at my place last week. We had lots of fun and she brought along her camera with a macro lens. Had a lot of fun taking photos.

Enjoy the shots.

This is a Madagascar Hissing roach.

All seriousness Jim, check this with yours, try throwing in McDonalds french fries in one corner and Burger King fries in the other. See what happens.. let me know!:yes:

Thanks Sara, I will have to try that little experiment.

I gotta admit these guys are fun. I have a pair here that gave me some nymphs and I was given a butt load more.

Of the Roach Family these guys are really neat.

ok... I was all wierd-ed out w/ the roach.... but the fries thing has me interested.....
might have to "feed" them before I feed them to the lizards..... if i ever bring myself to get some....

Do it!! I want to see if other people get the same results that we did. We did it to settle an argument at work over which place had better fries, and then let the roaches decide.:lmao:
