As far as cockroaches go, those are pretty friendly-looking. The cockroaches in Australia are ugleeeeee!

What's their purpose?

Seriously, these are the most disgusting creatures God has probably created. I have a huge phobia towards bugs, I nearly had a heart attack last night when a black cockroach passed by my legs in the kitchen. I ran out to the living room and started screaming and wheezing for like 30 seconds, seriously, I could have dropped dead there.

And guess what? We never found it again.. I had to buy traps and my sister set it around the kitchen floor. I'm still terrified to enter the kitchen and I'm being paranoid whether there is a cockroach crawling somewhere (or a spider or anything).

My brother has arachnophobia and general bug phobia as well. I'm very sorry you are going through this. Do you like lizards? I mean the tiny ones that scurry about...they're really common here in Florida - my solution to our cockroach problem is to let these little lizards into the house. They eat baby cockroaches.


:D the only downside to having them in the house is they eventually die and dry up and I find them under my bed......cockroaches must live under there -shudder-

Do you mean skinks or geckos?

Someone please explain to me the purpose of mosquitoes.
Male mosquitoes don't drink blood. They are nectar drinkers and therefore probably pollinators.

Honestly I don't understand people's fears of spiders and snakes (with the exceptions of locations known to have multitudes of dangerous kinds). I think most snakes are beautiful, water moccasins being the exception. Roaches I can understand. They crawl on you in the middle of the night, you wake up, panic, do a funny little dance (unless you have fabulous ninja skills and knock the little devil across the room with such force he's still lying there dead in the morning…) and lose him somewhere behind your bed, waiting to strike you again another night…

Ah, so the females are to blame? Got it! :p

Twill, we have a lot of dangerous spiders and snakes in Australia. But don't let that stop you (and other CC'ers) from visiting. :) Even for those species that aren't poisonous, people's fears of them probably has something to do with their speed and movement patterns, their unpredictability and their looks. They don't exactly scream CUDDLY!

Also, there is no rabies in Australia! The virus does not exist on the continent. So if you visit, leave your pet rabid bats at home.

Cockroaches are gross but I don't find them scary. I'm not a fan of spiders though and we have heaps of them in Australia (many of them being poisonous). Someone please explain to me the purpose of mosquitoes.
OK, kill the cockroaches and the mosquitoes. I'll look the other way if you take after a rattlesnake. But just don't even think about harming my lady bugs, daddy long legs, and garden snakes. Even if you wear glasses, I'll protect them.

Ladybirds are great, I'm not keen on daddy long legs but I do trap them in a plastic container, put paper underneath and then put them in the garden. Garden snakes, I'm not familiar with.

If I find a nest of bugs anywhere on my property, I declare war. When we first moved in we had a stephen king ant infestation. I committed an epic bug holocaust that Hitler might of been proud of. To this day, I never see any ants here. I assume the word got out that this is hostile bug territory.

Aren't cockroaches actually aliens?
