Over 100,000 live cockroaches, illegal to possess in Australia, have been confiscated from a single breeder in what officials have described as the country's largest-ever seizure of exotic invertebrates.
The haul, comprising Madagascar hissing and dubia cockroaches, was valued at 200,000 Australian dollars. It was seized in May from a commercial breeder in Bathurst, New South Wales, according to Australia's Department of Climate Change, Energy, Environment and Water.
