There is no such thing as a 'pretty' cockroach - but this one might be perhaps slightly less horrifying and disgusting as it's brown cousins. Not that I'm judgmental on roaches or with they were extinct or anything. :)

Yeah, I had know idea we had pretty cockroaches until I joined PN!

Cool - I just googled it and found out it is a cockroach; wish our roaches were that attractive; looks like it has a transparent face mask or helmet.
