Inconspicuous. "Are there more spiders in the rainforest?" "No, just brighter colors. Spiders are all around you." #arachnid #invertebratesrule #spiderseverywhere

HISSSSS! These are our Madagascar hissing cockroaches @gocmnh's Smead Discovery Center. Completely harmless and flightless, they scare predators away by pushing air out through holes in their body called spiracles, which makes a startling sound. I love them. They've helped me teach thousands of people that cockroaches play an important role in their ecosystem and aren't just something to step on. This is the fourth job I've worked that's had them. Work just wouldn't be the same without them! #hissingcockroaches #entomology #museumed #arthropods #invertebratesrule
