This is one of the pest roaches that’s in my domino roach enclosure. They’re pretty bold, but have their limits. No roaches were harmed in the making of this video, but one was severely unnerved. Yes, that’s a goat skull.

Subtitles and description below the cut. 

*a wingless roach is seen sitting on leaf litter, chewing on something. The camera appears to be only a few inches away, behind a pane of glass.*

*camera zooms out, showing more leaf litter nearby and a goat skull next to the roach.* 

“Let’s see if I can open the door.” 

*terrarium door is unlatched and opened, then camera zooms in again. Roach’s antennae, formerly waving, stop moving.* 

“He’s noticed.” 

*a finger reaches for the roach, which responds by scuttling away to hide, making a comically loud scuttling noise due to being on leaf litter* 

*cackling is heard*
