Sane people are the only ones who can stand me, coincidentally. Crazy ones I can feel their lies burning near me. They get very hostile because they believe those lies are part of themselves, not just a protective outer coating.

Ah Metis………that fiery bloom…….
Sometimes passive empathy isn’t enough……action is required….in the case of the plant……..without water, all the love in the world isn’t enough.
I’m not implying that anyone is passive. Just stating a fact that relates to my little story here.

I’m being cynical, but I don’t think the truth is far from that.

“It’s only with the heart that one see’s rightly, what is essential, is invisible to the eye.”

Maybe you see with your heart, and not a prejudiced mind.

Thanks. That article is really cool and useful.

Anyway, more often than not roach species that enjoy living in garages are not usually home invaders in that the inside of the home is rarely a good habitat for them. They just like the warm, damp environment so it’s important to identify whether or not they will invade your household.

For example, the species of cockroach which I have domesticated, Blaptica dubia is virtually incapable of climbing slick surfaces like cabinets and painted walls and thus tend to not invade households. (there’s a reason why I chose this species to domesticate)

A common roach that we often encounter in our garage are Blatta orientalis which can invade the house proper but normally don’t unless the inside is very filthy and food is stored particularly poorly. (my experience) They tend to just like the garage or occasionally they enjoy hanging out underneath sinks if you have allowed underneath the sink to become damp or humid.

Look out for Blattella germanica and Periplaneta americana unless you like having your cupboards infested, though.

Totally off topic but I suppose tangentially relevant when it comes to being humane to our six-legged neighbors. <3

Oh, another thing that’s important when you want to avoid unnecessarily killing little guys: when you find a spider inside your home and want to remove it without killing it, do not move it outdoors. Remember that the spider has probably moved indoors to protect itself from the climate outside and moving it outdoors will likely end its life anyway. Move it into your garage or a shed or at the very least some place that is very sheltered and warm.
