This always makes me think. Cockroaches don’t bite, are not venomous, basically can’t do us any harm. I’m not afraid of wild dogs, spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, wolves, hyenas, wild hogs, bears (encountered them all) but I might actually scream if I get surprised by a cockroach.
I think this collective fear of cockroaches that we have cannot be without reason and must have an evolutionary reason.


I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.
I’m not sure which is worse, seeing a female cockroach with an egg sac in my house or any cockroach on my face. I react to cockroaches like some people react to spiders: Overreact. I’m also glad that you moved out the following month.
