Funny name aside, this is literally one of the reasons, why I (and most people on the NW part of South America) am freaking traumatized by cockroaches. Having a single one of this fly at your face as soon as you turn on the lights of a dark (and maybe even moist) room, will give you a heart attack

When I moved to Florida (I do not recommend), the locals called the bigger ones "palmetto bugs." No dude, that's a big-ass roach. A cute name does not change that fact.

Grew up with that shit. Can confirm, giant roach. Can confirm, do not recommend.

I once woke up to find a cockroach had nestled itself in my armpit during the night.
