These won’t become pests in your region (or most others). Just provide a means for folks to wash hands if they touch the critters.

Apparently the feature “bug” being brought into the museum is a Madagascar Cockroach. Since it is being brought by a representative from a state university, I am hoping it will be carefully watched. But is there anything I should worry about? Can it spew eggs that get dropped on the floor and might hatch? We don’t HAVE cockroaches at this time. I hope to keep it that way. I just want to know if I need to urge some strong safety measures.
