Australia confiscates 100,000 illegal cockroaches

Australian authorities seized over 100,000 live strange cockroaches in New South Wales, valued at approximately $142,000 USD. This marks the largest-ever confiscation of illegal non-vertebrates in the country. The insects include Dubia and Madagascar hissing cockroaches, which are illegal to import into Australia. Possessing, breeding, or selling them is punishable by law. The confiscation occurred in Bathurst, and authorities warned that illegal trade of these species could threaten native wildlife and the agricultural industry, as Australia maintains strict regulations to protect its biodiversity.
