I have a massive dislike for roaches, but I must admit the wild species don't upset me as
much . It's only the fast-moving, large American roaches that freak me out.
Having said that, I've been in places infested with roaches and have observed some peculiar things about their behaviour. Am I crazy to think they enjoy playing? I remember they used to just love running at full speed inside a container full of shredded papers, making a lot of noise. I didn't think this could be fighting, though, perhaps it was. It felt more like watching dogs or kids running into a pile of leaves than a fight.
Most likely courtship behaviour, I have observed that as well for some Periplaneta roaches I’ve noticed on streets during the night. It’s often surprising how many they are.
The NA roach is the jerk of the family. I dislike them too.
