Insect black market raid seizes $200K cockroaches
More than 100,000 cockroaches of the Madagascar and Dobia species were confiscated from an illegal farm in Bathurst, west of Sydney, with an estimated market value of around 200,000 Australian dollars. Australian authorities confirmed that this operation is the largest of its kind for inspection purposes and to affirm commitment to biodiversity protection. Warnings indicate that the escape of these species into the environment could threaten native insects and cause damage to the agricultural sector and protected species.
