That's great! I always knew the roaches in New york were big! Don't tell me you have to go to the Zoo there to find one big nough to name!
We get barn spiders here that show up in the house. There was one in the upstairs kitchen for a while i was threatening to buy a collar and a dish for and use as a watch spider until we had to take it outside before my mom came to visit. My son called it Doc Oc.
