Another beetle to share and one not very welcome... the German cockroach. It is one of the few species of cockroach that are domestic pests, it probably is the most widely troublesome example. My "Beetles of the World v2" was unleashed today... and sorry about the timing... it looks like cockroaches are the stocking stuffers you get from me this year. lol. At least I didn't do a render with them crawling out of a stocking... It is colloquially known as the “Croton bug”, is a species of small cockroach, typically about 0.43 to 0.63 inches (11 to 16 mm) long. In color it varies from tan to almost black, and it has two dark, roughly parallel, streaks on the pronotum running anteroposteriorly from behind the head to the base of the wings. Although it has wings, it can barely fly, although it may glide when disturbed. German cockroaches are omnivorous scavengers. They are attracted particularly to meats, starches, sugars, and fatty foods. Where a shortage of foodstuff exists, they may eat household items such as soap, glue, and toothpaste. In famine conditions, they turn cannibalistic, chewing at each other's wings and legs.
