And why the fuck would anyone want a giant cockroach? That's the stuff of nightmares.

That makes sense. Imagine discovering one of those fuckers in your underwear drawer.

How can insects be worth 200 000!?

People buy them for pets.
People buy them for science.
People buy them to make honey.

That'd be cool, but the question was about insects in general

So are they illegal because they don't want them escaping? It said wood cockroaches are legal for feeder insects. I can't imagine regular cockroaches haven't colonized them yet.
