Fred noticed this native cockroach being stung by a wasp. The cockroach stopped still, arched its body as it is in the photo and sat there for some time. It looked like it was panting. After a few minutes, it stopped panting, straightened its body and ran off into the leaf litter. Desmozosteria flavaThanks for the ID David Rentz Photo: Jean
