Madagascar hissing beetle?

Are you talking about the movie Madagascar, or the place? Well, I haven't seen the movie, nor the place. Is that what they call them? "Beetles?"

LOL - they're actually hissing cockroaches. They're not that big, just look big in the photo. They're actually about 2" to 3" long.

That's still 2"-3" creepier than I like

Yeah, I thought they were pretty creepy. Imagine one in your kitchen?

Are they really cockroaches?
Yes, they are members of the cockroach family. They have been called Madagascan Hissing Beetles to get rid of the negative impressions generated by the word "cockroach." Some differences between common cockroaches and Giant Hissing Cockroaches include: wingless, sanitary, odorless, clean, and slow. Some similarities include: nocturnal and hardy.

Not sure who you're asking, but I'll respond...

I'm using a Canon 20D with a Canon 28-135mm IS lens.
