I think I've read there where like 4000 cockroach species and only 30 that were ivansive, in human homes, mostly from just 3 genera. The rest only live in the wild, where they hardly bother anyone.

But what if they were blue?

Sorry your dealing with that!

As somebody who remembers waking up with cockroaches crawling on him as a child strong agree.

I read this for a second as "neurotypical cockroaches". Like "are there neurodivergent ones??"

Like my mom always taught me, don't get into the back of a stranger's van, not even if they offer you pretty blue cockroaches.
