Australia just pulled off its biggest exotic cockroach bust ever—seizing over 100,000 illegal Madagascar hissing and dubia roaches worth $200K from a Bathurst breeder. These giant, reptile-food bugs are banned nationwide to protect native ecosystems from invasive species and disease. Though no charges were filed, all confiscated roaches will be euthanized. Authorities are warning pet owners to stick to legal, native insects—because Australia’s biosecurity rules are serious business.
