It's always bothered me that when people adapt Kafka's Metamorphosis they depict Gregor Samsa as a roach. Cockroaches do not undergo metamorphosis. They are born as nymphs which are just smaller wingless versions of the adult form.
Kafka writes that Gregor can only enjoy rotten food. Which also makes him not at all roach-like. Roaches strongly prefer fresh vegetables to rotten ones.
And, of course, he gets stuck on his back, not something roaches struggle with nearly as much as beetles.
That's why always imagined him as a beetle. Which implies that the man Gregor was a larvae for all his pre-bug life. I thought that was the whole point of the story... We're all grubs, but Gregor reached the next stage though sadly none of the grubs in his family could understand him.

Lovely little golden ale 🧡
Often I flip a log to find a nest of carpenter ants, and if I'm lucky there's also a few derpy ant crickets among them; apparently if I'm really lucky, there's an ant-loving cockroach or two! Likely Myrmecoblatta wheeleri (thanks @crevicedwelling!)

Collage I made of roach diversity. There are so many varieties, the pests give this group a bad name.

A bit 'draw the rest of the fkn owl' I know, but I love cockroaches. Blattodeans are underrated invertebrates, just because a few species womble into human homes 💖🪳
Sketchbook page for contrasting wood cockroach (Eushelfordia pica.) I turned it into a zine page.
