First I spotted this kind of bug
in the Theosophical Society in the neighborhood (Adyar), around a muddy terrain
and fallen leaves. About half a decade later, I was surprise to see this bug inside
our compound wall and again around the fallen (dry) leaves of Neam and an unknown
tree of the neighbor. I spotted the bug few months back and days after
showering, the bug was wandering around the dry leaves for its prey. And last week it decided to stick to the compound
wall sometime for me to shoot.
P.S. Thanks DI (Destination Infinity) for letting me know the real name of the bug in comment, which I referred early as white spotted black bug.

it is pretty.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many of them in the Adyar Poonga. They call it seven-spotted cockroach. I am generally afraid of the maroon cockroaches, but this one is OK :)

ReplyDeleteWhat an unusual cockroach!
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a bug but I believe you that it is cockroach. So unique!
ReplyDeleteIn China, some folks still eat those horrible dark cockroaches that we see running on the streets and drains! Bluek!
The folks there would peel off the legs and wings before tossing it onto the burning charcoal to roast it for few seconds before swallowing them. They swear that it cures the most stubborn and nagging coughs! Bluek!
