Any guesses what this pretty insect is? You may be surprised but this is a type of cockroach! Yes, that's right, not all of them are disgusting looking! Some types, like this adult Bush Cockroach, are actually rather lovely. The Bush Cockroach is a native of New Zealand and is part of the suborder Blaberoidea which contains some of the most beautiful types of cockroaches.
