Cape Mountain Cockroach
Hi Richard,
The Cape Mountain Cockroach in your photograph is not one of the few species of Cockroaches that infests homes and gives the other relatives a bad reputation. Just this January we ran another posting of this fascinating insect.
Hi Daniel and thanks for identifying the Cape Mountain Cockroach.
Cheers.
Richard

I actually saw 2 of these roaches yesterday whilst hiking up Myburgh Ravine in Constantia…even though I have never heard or saw one before, I knew it was a roach because of my phobia for them so just had to google it to see if i was right….and because of my fear, I was not able to take photos
