This resonates with me, because I am DEATHLY afraid of roaches, ever since I opened my oven in my old apartment, to put something inside and several jumped out at me. They were painting all the apartments around ours, below and above our floor as well, and the roaches came streaming into my apartment to avoid the paint smell. We roachbombed (after leaving the apartment to spend the night at my parents’ house), and it was mamesh disgusting. We had also put up about ten roach motels, and they were ALL filled to the brim. I am sure Hashem had a good reason for creating these disgusting creatures, but I hope never to find out what it is.
BTW, which goy first looked at a lobster and said to himself, “Wow, a giant cockroach! That looks like a good thing to eat!” I do not get how anyone could eat something that looks like something I need to squish (but can’t because it goes crunch!)
