Meet Harvey

This is Harvey. I think Harvey is actually a female--I found this out after I named her. She is a Pennsylvania wood cockroach that briefly resided in our basement. Kayla set out "cockroach food" for Harvey, and last night we found her quivering in the middle of the living room floor. I gave Harvey a sky burial on our front lawn this morning. We can only hope that Harvey did not leave any little ones behind. There's a good chance; Harvey is an outdoor cockroach (they don't generally breed indoors) and I think she just wandered into our house while looking for rotting timber. Which, oddly enough, comprises our house....


Hopefully, this ends the saga of the cockroach infestation. Coming soon: The lint monster that lives in the laundry room.

Of course, I'm one to talk. I once adopted a... uh, well... Ok. I have nothing. Keep up the good work. Dismissed.
