The idea is to startle an enemy into leaving the cockroach alone. By Nellie Fly What’s that noise? Is it a snake? No! It’s a Gromphadorhina portentosa – also known as a hissing cockroach. Tiny mites live on the bodies of these cockroaches and keep them clean by eating bits of food that cling to the larger bug’s body. Found in Madagascar, the hissing cockroach is one big bug. It grows to be three inches (8cm) long! It is also about an inch wide, around the size of a small mouse. Madagascar While the hissing cockroach looks a little frightening, it is actually harmless. The only thing it does to protect itself from enemies is to hiss at them. 10 Pier 1 • Su ite 301 Astoria , O regon 97103 Astoria, Warrenton, & Seaside 1100 Northwest Ridge Road Hammond OR 97121 reservations 800-562-8506 Info 503-861-2606 Northwest West Inc.

For the hissing cockroach that sounds like lunch! A hissing cockroach is a scavenger, not a hunter. That means it doesn’t kill for food, but eats whatever it can find on the forest floor, things like rotting plant matter and dead animals. Cockroaches are considered “living fossils” because they have survived on Earth some 250 million years, appearing long before dinosaurs. More than 3,500 species of cockroaches exist today.
