Zephyr Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Sweet! Reminds me of Megalobaltta longipennis, only that species is bigger than the fossil! The most startling fact I've read was that roaches in modern times are the largest roaches to exist. Pretty shocking when you consider we have quite a few large species in culture!
