So who’ll take our place on this Earth, if it’s still standing? Most likely the cockroaches. But will they continue where humans left off? One odd Instagram account seems to believe so.
Cockroach Diaries follows the life of one insect, living “his biggest life.” The account is intended to be a spoof on life and the culture of Instagram.
The focus and fake Instagram star in the pictorials is C. Roach III, a 3rd generation roach in a line of great arthropod ancestors. A few recent cockroach excursions caught on film include sunning on the beach, relaxing a hot tub and celebrating the birth a new nymph.
The anonymous cockroach capturer creates all of the photos, using multi-layered composites of stock images. In case anyone believed cockroaches actually did snap selfies.
The fascination with the insects occurred during a home invasion of the cockroach kind.
The response to the account has been positive to this point.
The account has spawned an odd appreciation for the fictional roach and insects of his kind and the anonymous archivist admits she might think twice next time before crushing a roach with a shoe.
