They are very close - South China Morning Post — Adolfo Arranz

They are very close
And you can’t escape them

Cockroaches have existed for 300 million years, predating mankind and surviving three mass extinction events. Fossils from 250 million years ago show characteristics easily recognisable in contemporary cockroaches.

This backpage print was published in the South China Morning Post in September 2017.

A hand-drawn graphic illustrating the topic of cockroaches with notes on their impact, life cycle, health risks, and comparison to the size of other insects. Features sketches of cockroaches, a person observing, and research notes.

Rough sketch idea.

An informational poster about cockroaches, showing detailed illustrations of their anatomy, life cycle, survival traits, different species, and pest management.

Newspaper printed version. Maybe it's not the best place to have breakfast.
