A researcher in Kumamoto has found evidence that the same variety of cockroach many of us see much more often than we would like to, has been in Japan for thousands of years. The evidence comes from the pottery shown in the picture. I could have included an image of a cockroach but, well, who wants to see another roach! ;)
