Some cockroach curios

As a bit of a side project I have created the Cabinet of Orthopteroid Curiosities. Partly because whenever I find polyneoptera paraphernalia I have a habit of not being able to find it again, partly because it's interesting in its own right.

It's pretty sparse at the moment, but I will ad to it over time. If you have anything you wish to add then feel free to e-mail me or sign up for an account.

A few interesting cockroach items:

• An advertising slogan of living cockroaches
• An old video of Phil Bragg talking about cockroaches

More to come.....
