Kind of hard to identify from the side, but it looks like some kind of cockroach...anyway, great shot.

Yes I would say it's some species of Wood Cockroach that live in the bush.

Impressive, I like it! The profile shot is unusual and the long antenna really sets this shot apart. Excellent work.

Quite a night, first a photo of a spider from Marcus that I can't see and now an insect that I wish I hadn't. Great shot here EM, I don't like those bugs though, you don't want them in the house.

This type doesn't come into the house as they live in the bush.
