When you say you're dealing with it, you don't happen to mean you just have an infestation, and the thing you're doing about it is being sad about it?

But what if they were blue?

Sorry your dealing with that!

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.

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??"

I mean I would guess there are some cockroach that don't act like the rest

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.
