User's notes

This Bark Cockroach nymph fell from one of my external doors one morning when I opened it to go outside. After the fall, the cockroach just stayed still and I thought it was dead. When I tried to flip it over the cockroach crawled under the door mat.

With that armour I suppose they don't really need to do much more:-)
