It's the final match up of our first round in the Great Ontario Bug-off!!
It's Blattodea (cockroaches) versus Trichoptera (caddisflies). Vote in the comments!
(ps. if you don't vote Blattodea- Ernie will hear about it)

A brown termite floating upright on the water, with wings spread out to the side.. It has a blackish head.
Another termite in the water, floating on its back. The wings are spread out to the side.
Two winged Fungus-growing Termites (Subfamily Macrotermitinae) spotted in the water at MacRitchie Reservoir Park, Singapore on 23 March 2025. I don't usually see these termites.

Photo of my quick ink sketch of a pair of cuddling Domino Cockroaches held next to the pair of cuddling bugs themselves (in their tank).
Learned a new type of bug yesterday at the museum and knew I had to doodle them. Do they like it? I dunno. I hope so
Domino Cockroaches 😊 - Therea petiveriana

Saw absolutely dozens of Planuncus vinzi earlier this month in Brittany, of all sizes! They're so gorgeous!! 🥰 Especially love how the antennae have looped on the first one! #Cockroach #Blatte #Blattodea #France

A female Tawny Cockroach, viewed from above and behind, perches on the edge of a pale wooden moth trap wall set against a blurred dark backdrop. A black ootheca (egg case) is visible extending from beneath the end of her abdomen.
This female Tawny Cockroach (one of our three native species) was an irregular visitor to the Upton garden moth trap last night, bringing her egg-laden ootheca with her #blattodea
Eine Nymphe der Waldschabe (Ectobius sylvestris) im Seitenprofil auf verwittertem Holz. Das flügellose Jungtier zeigt die charakteristische braun-orange Färbung des Halsschildes und der vorderen Körperpartie, während der Hinterleib dunkelbraun bis schwarz gefärbt ist. Die langen, fadenförmigen Fühler und die gut entwickelten Beine sind deutlich erkennbar.
Detailaufnahme einer Waldschaben-Nymphe von der Seite auf Holzuntergrund. Die glänzende Oberfläche des flügellosen Körpers und die charakteristische Farbverteilung mit hellem Vorderkörper und dunklem, segmentiertem Abdomen sind gut sichtbar. Die Antenne erstreckt sich elegant nach vorn, während die kräftigen Laufbeine eine typische Haltung zeigen.
Aufsicht auf eine Waldschaben-Nymphe auf Holzoberfläche. Der breite, schildförmige Halsschild in bernsteinbrauner Färbung dominiert das Bild, darunter ist der dunkle, quergefurchte Hinterleib zu sehen. Als Jungtier fehlen noch die Flügel der ausgewachsenen Schabe. Die gefiederten Antennen sind nach oben gerichtet, und die robusten Vorderbeine sind gut erkennbar.
Nicht alles, was wie eine Schabe aussieht, ist direkt eine der ungeliebten Küchenschaben. Hier handelt es sich wohl um die Nymphe einer Waldschabe (Ectobius sylvestris). Sie ernähren sich von verrottenden Pflanzenteilen.

There are 4600 species of cockroach and most of them would rather stay away from human homes. They also come in a variety of shapes and colors!

A little cockroach I accidentally disturbed when I broke apart a log :( I wish I got a photo of just a moment earlier when the little thing tried to hide by crawling underneath a nearby bess beetle XD

Had a mating swarm of tons and tons of subterranean termites! Sat out in the yard and watched 'em—though that means a lot of them did land on me, determine "well, this is close enough to the ground", and take their wings off

Another gorgeous cockroach nymph from northern France a few weeks ago, which I think might be Ectobius vittiventris (Garden Cockroach). Lightning fast again! #Cockroach #France #Blattodea
One of the Porcelain roaches, Gyna lurida "Yellow". This culture had predominately vibrant yellow adults while the usual form is more beige. The nymphs are just as stunning in their own right with their intricate patterns. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #roach #cockroach #blattodea #insect
Capucina patula is an absurdly flat roach. Pictured here is an adult and 2 nymphs. The white one has just moulted and is sat on its old skin, the one next to it is the same stage but coloured up. #wildlife #nature #macro #photography #roach #cockroach #blattodea #insect
It’s the start of #BlackHistoryMonth! This is a great time to read about Vernard Lewis, who is an entomologist working on #Blattodea, especially #termites. He recently retired after an illustrious career in #entomology! #28daysofBlackSTEMHistory ourenvironment.berkeley.edu/news/2017/07...
Hemithyrsocera vittata proving that roaches can be just as visually attractive as any other insect. These superbly marked roaches are often named the Asian Clown roach.
