In a quiet and quiet corner of the forest, I found a small insect that was almost invisible, the size of the insect's body was so small. The insect was perched on one of the leaves of grass, he was enjoying the pleasure of playing on a swing in the gentle breeze. He is the hemithyrsocera palliata cockroach, a species of cockroach from the Ectobiidae family.
When talking about cockroaches, you must immediately imagine about insects that like to visit homes, to be precise, they often appear in kitchen and bathroom areas. But the cockroach I found was very different. This cockroach never visits the house, it prefers nature, it prefers green environments with fresh air.
The appearance of this cockroach is very beautiful, its body is slender and long, shiny brown. And around his neck there is a yellow circle like someone wearing a gold necklace. This cockroach is not only beautiful but also has a good attitude, it didn't run away when I approached it. He continued to relax there and once he played with his antennae.

Interesting different specie of cockroach. Normally cockroaches are annoying 😃
Yes, this cockroach has an attractive appearance. very different from cockroaches that like to visit people's kitchens.
When I was a child I hated cockroaches, but as an adult I have learned to respect them, but I have to keep them out of my kitchen and bathroom! That one you have shown is undoubtedly pretty, either it's your lens, or the greenery, or the whole package.
this is a jungle cockroach, he does have a beautiful original appearance that is not affected by the lens. This cockroach is different from the cockroaches you often see at home. This cockroach is very docile and loves green environments.
Yes, a cockroach that is not obnoxious but has its function in its ecosystem.
