Sydney's Finest

When you use Australian google for "types of cockroaches in Sydney", nearly all of the first page entries are for pest control companies. Of course, most of them want to tell you all about cockroaches from the extermination perspective. So an exterminator says there are five types of cockroaches common in Sydney. Yeah. Plenty. I think I've seen two main types. There is the type that crawls up out of the drains (hopefully, when we remodel the house, the drains can be made less accessible?). The second type seems to just wander in off the street, as if they're taking a shortcut through the house and get distracted along the way. Maybe the remodel can also close up some cracks that these guys seem to walk right in. Anyway, the cockroach in the photo may have been drunk. He was just wandering around the street in broad daylight. Usually you see them scurrying around after dark.
