According to Roy Toft in”Madagascar Hissing Cockroach” he introduced a kind of gross cockroaches from the island of Madagascar. These cockroaches are shiny brown and oval-shaped, with no wings and a single pair of antennae. A small colony of hissing cockroaches can eat a large carrot in a single day
Every one hearing the name of cockroaches will feel very monstrous. But cockroaches can be a sign of dirty which means if you see cockroaches appear at your house very often you must have something filthy which may be a feast to cockroaches. I hate cockroaches too, especially the flying one. When I saw the photo on the website, it reminded me my childhood. There is a cockroach as large as my thumb flying behind me and chasing me. I was so frighten that I ran away at a speed which nobody can imagine. But something strange happened no matter how fast I ran, no matter where I went it can always find me and catch up with me. Finally I was trapped in a corner of my room. Seeing that it was getting closer and closer, my heart pumped faster and faster. While I was ready to accept the kiss of the cockroach, my mom appeared and slaughtered it with her slippers. After this horrible experience I became a fearless cockroaches terminator. Next time when you find a cockroach approaching to you, I will appear at next second and save you with my slippers.
