I've been on earth for a long time, seen all kinds of cockroaches big and small, but i've never seen a white one.

They are very rare and some people might not have the privilege of seeing them in their life time. But I hope you will see one though

sketcherJ:
Have you ever seen a white cockroach before ? I don't mean those small tiny ones, I am talking about an adult big white cockroach, what was your reaction when you saw one? ,
Well I saw a white cockroach recently in my bathroom and I wont lie to you. I was surprised, I tried to bring it down but before I could find what i can use for that purpose; it disappeared; not literally, but I was surprised at how it could have ran away in that few seconds, I was curious so I decided to research on it .


What are the fallacy that are attached to white coackroaches?

1. They are ablino cockroaches
2. Some thought it is a good omen that something nice would happen
3. Others thought it is a visit from the people in their village

White cockroaches over the years has been attributed to albinism by some people,as we have among humans but the fact is that various science tests had found no trace of albinism in these white cockroaches and the idea was debunked, but what causes white cockroaches? Why do we have them?


This is the best answer

The real cause of a cockroach’s white appearance is that when roaches molt, they don’t only shed their outer shell, they also lose most of the pigmentation (coloration) in their bodies, which must then be replaced. This is a chemical reaction that occurs within the body, usually taking a few hours to fully restore pigmentation..so obviously the big cockroach I saw was in its molting stage and if I had captured it and wait a little longer, it would have turned brown, or maybe it did! Remember I said I was surprised it ran away in that few seconds? Maybe if I had looked well and pay heed to a brown cockroach hiding in the corner, maybe I would have found It..
But why don't we see white cockroaches often?

when cockroaches are in the process of molting, they go into hiding till the process has been restored! why.? Because they are highly vulnerable to dry up and predators after molting, since the new shell is not rigid enough for the muscles to provide much movement at this point, making it hard to run and hide when predators are chasing them.

So white cockroaches after some hours after molting now sport a new brown suit of armor, ready to go find food, water and shelter. Just like initiation into adulthood.

So why did I see a white cockroach that day? Why would you see it?

Maybe I disturbed or something had disturbed the hiding place of the cockroach which propelled it to run outside, if you don't disturb them, you won't see them.

Now I hope you have learnt a new thing today, when you see a white cockroach, I am sure you won't freak out now..ciao.

OP,,, really love and understand your explanation. Got a question though. How do you explain the small cockroaches that are already brown. Don't you think the white cockroaches are another species entirely ?

Penisinpenisout:
Utchgirl, you fine no be small

Also why is OP trying to assume that everyone has cockroaches in their house, is this supposed to be normal?

Lol

OP, I have also seen one before. The first was in my wardrobe at school and the second at the front of my gate at home. I was actually surprised when I saw it the first time, but it ran away almost immediately. Then I began thinking I didn't see anything. But when I saw it the second time, I called my mom's attention.
She was surprised though.
White cockroach does exist

U guys are funny. Op, nice one there. Me be confirm AjeKpako o

God help and bless you. PMB

My personal people!!!!

I hail o, fellow nairalander,

Happy new year LALASTICALA

Babe, am not married o but I know something that call TEMPERAMENT. Both of you are Mel-phleg. For real open your eyes wella o. It can be boring o.
Am not telling you to leave him or stick to him. Shine ya eyes wella.
Don't mind me, like sitting on the fence. I told you am not married. Lol

Op, I understand you. You did the right thing although it is very bitter for the family.
In medical field you follow higher instructions and orders cos if you try to do things in your own way, knowing fully well that you are the only doctor on call and it's a clear thing that you can't handle the case on your own. The best is to refer to an higher Centre. If you try anything on your own giving the fact that you were given an order then your license is at stake.
Even the patient's parent won't want to know that you are only trying to help out as the only doctor on call.
God continue to help us o. A ni sise se o. A de ni ri ogun akoba o. Jesu oluwa wa. AMIN.

PURPOSE BABE.

emmchi:
I think saving a life is paramount irrespective of the order from above.

Really U've got a good point but I want you to know that as a medical personnel like myself you must follow all orders and instructions from above. Cos if in the process of treating the patient in the name of pity and being humane, your license will go for it and you know what that means

Am so sure pple won't comment much cos it's too lengthy. Unusual of NL for this type of post.

Op, try make the thing no too long next time and more interesting.

Go buy a car.

Abeg, I be JJC for nairaland, formally a Guest. Who is this LALASTICALA ICALA

Who knows if this guy has an ulterior motive behind his action. May be he has been told by a demonic ritualist that if he can find a way of displaying his thing to the world he might become famous, rich or anything.
Any pple there will be laughing, jeering him up not knowing what will be affecting them
