Giant Death's Head Cockroach, Blaberus cranifer ? The link won't work, probably because it's commercial, they're selling them!

Or this one, Blaberus giganteus http://www.angelfire.com/oh2/Roaches/

I'm so sorry I put my glasses on to see what you had found.

Glad they're not here. Sheesh, I can't stand bugs, roaches of any kind in particular

Sorry jude!

They do look like the Giant Cave roach, I'll look at the others...they were selling them? Why? Fish bait?

They look like the Giant Death Head too. I got the Genus, that's close enough. Thanks again Claypa.
