HUGE HUGE American cockroaches laying on their backs in the hallways.



In fact, when I was at jury duty last year, the juror waiting area/auditorium had one humongous one crawling on the wall, with those of us in the front rows pointing and gawking at it (and that building - the Juanita Stout Criminal Justice Center) is relatively "new" (opened about 30 years ago). When you see them crawling around in the light, they have definitely been sprayed and are about ready to buy the farm.
