  1. Never seen a roach's face so close before! They are actually cute! :-) Posted 6 years ago
    1. Yes, these little ones are quite neat and when they ever sit still they're constantly cleaning themselves (this one was actually doing so too). Ohter than that they're near impossible to shoot - horribly quick and restless ... *rolleyes* Posted 6 years ago
  2. Fantastic capture

"Planuncus tingitanus s.l." is a working title for any of the species belonging to the "Planuncus tingitanus" species group, of the cockroach genus "Planuncus". As the exact status of some the species in this group can not be determined without more research, the whole species complex is referred to by the name of the oldest species in the group sensu lato.
