Reserve Manager Matt McLean introduces us to some of the residents at Reedy Creek Reserve on the Queensland coast - Giant Burrowing Cockroaches.

Weighing in at a hefty 30g, Giant Burrowing Cockroaches are the heaviest cockroaches in the world. Their lifespan is equally impressive – they can live up to 10 years!

Fortunately, the preferred habitat of this long-lived cockroach is not your kitchen cabinet! Also known as the Rhinoceros Cockroach or the Litterbug, these gigantic roaches are endemic to Queensland and prefer life in the compacted sands of forests in north east Australia. They’re found along the coast from Rockhampton to Cooktown, and on the Whitsunday Islands.
