Excellent job capturing this creature in a picture. From my understanding they're pretty quick and don't like to be around humans too much. I could not imagine something so unsightly being in my home. I'm pretty sure I would run out screaming if I ever saw one and refuse to come back until it had been thoroughly dealt with. Great work though! -------------------------- http://www.protermite.com/roaches.html
