Taking over the world

So. I'm like... a eco-friendly type person thingy!  I like animals. I know some fun facts about carbon emissions, alternative fuels, renewable energy, recycling, etc.  I do a few things I feel are appropriate to minimize my impact on the ecosystems surrounding me.

Here is a little fellow who could care less! She (I discovered it's a female, indicated by some markings on the torso) was here way before us (humans) and will be here WAY after too.

Jamunda, I shall call he, the madagascar hissing cockroach.  Yep. This is me, making friends with an insect that actually makes a LOUD hissing sound.  At first I thought it was just a name, or folklore... but NO, they're pissed!

Jamunda didn't actually hiss at me, but I did check out the breeding tub and... damn! Freaky stuff!

I gotta say, though. Once the inicial eek factor worn out I was able to appreciate a beautiful animal, full of mystery, careless.  It was profound. 

Happy Saint Patty's, by the way. Pass me another guiness, would ya!?
