Lunch and Learn with Cockroaches

A North Albany Middle School students holds a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach.

The guests at North Albany Middle School were a bit creepy – even for the day after Halloween.

Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches visited Lunch and Learn on Nov. 1.

A biologist with the University at Albany, Pauline Carrico, led the lesson which was capped off by the brave holding the large insects.
