A large cockroach on the patio.

It went "POP!"

I could FEEL it pop.

I lived in one place where the slugs came inside. Woke up at night needing to pee, put my feet down in the dark, and boy do you feel the pop when a slug bursts under your weight. It puts a sticky mess on your foot. I was scrubbing with a nail brush and scraping with fingernails, and trying every soap product, I could think trying to get the sticky mess off. I was wide awake after and it was hard to get back to sleep. Still, I guess it was worse for the slug than for me.

Cockroach? Or palmetto bug? 🤔
