A compendium of history and lore. The scurrying, skittering, creepy crawly history of the infernal cockroach. Worth reading just for odd tidbits such as the phrase positive thigmotaxsis an overwhelming desire to be touched on all sides, and the reason cockroaches try to crawl in human ears (there's a photo).
