Description
Your class might have trouble believing it, but these ferocious-looking creatures are quite shy and can even be handled. These insects, originally from the Isle of Madagascar, hiss loudly when disturbed by forcefully expelling air through their spiracles. Their large carapaces have false eyespot protrusions that give the roaches their fierce appearance. Once they are used to being handled, they no longer hiss. If you leave them alone for a few weeks, they begin to hiss again. Adult.
