See it: over 100,000 illegal exotic cockroaches seized in Australia

Over 100,000 illegal cockroaches have been confiscated from a commercial breeder in New South Wales in what Australian officials are calling the country’s “largest-ever seizure of illegal exotic invertebrates.” Valued at around $200,000, the insects - highly prized as food for reptiles - are illegal to breed or import, with officials warning that penalties will follow.
