Unknown bug

Tried taking pictures of the very dramatic pink sunset tonight. Sunset pics really didn't work (our street has far too much clutter), but spotted this bug on the way back inside... (I lopped off his antennae in this pic so you can see his pretty wings in more detail instead).
Very cool. How big is he?

He'd be a Native Cockroach.

@kwakefield I think he was about 2cm long (not including antennae), but my memory could be playing tricks.

You got yourself a cockroach! Careful... they breed like crazy!

Creepy cockroach. You did a great job capturing him in the photo. I hope you captured him for real though.

Your cockroachs look different then ours, not that one will live long enough for me to capture his mug. Nice shot!

I'm tempted to say ewww but his wings are amazing. They look like intricate lace. Good spotting you intrepid photographer.

Great closeup! He's pretty cool looking

The shapes making up the patterns on his wings are similliar to that in the object upon which he is sitting. I wonder if he thought that he may be camouflaged.

Looks like he was huge. You did capture is detail quite wonderfully though! Sometimes you just need to shake things up and flip directions, its all about having fun and learning. :)
