Day 128 of Firsts: Hold a Hissing Cockroach

Cockroaches really put my "all creatures great and small" creed to the test. ~Astrid Alauda

EWWWW! Cockroaches, bleh!

 Still, when I was invited to hold a real live Madagascar HISSING Cockroach, I must say my curiosity got the best of me.

Chris Wilkinson is my Cockroach guide at Philadelphia's Academy of Natural Sciences.



Don't worry. I got a hisser for you. But first check out the cockroach den. AHHH.




Nasty Right!?  Okay Chris found us a winner hisser.  Check it out.



Cool. Your kids will love this Outside In exhibit. But you don't have to be a kid to go. More information at www.ansp.org

Lu Ann, you are a trooper. I would run the opposite direction if I saw a cockroach, let alone hold one!
