Back in September, when I was in the courtyard of a house on Kutuzovsky Prospekt, 1, I noticed a certain graduate, or a pipe of a ventilation shaft (who can say what it is exactly - I will be very grateful). Pipe as a pipe, nothing special at first glance, but as I got closer, I noticed several Periplaneta cockroaches both near the pipe and about two dozen on the lawn around. Well, September, well, it was still relatively warm, although the cockroaches were either sluggish or even dead. I took a picture of the scene on my mobile phone, marveled a little and went home. At the present time, I believe, these cockroaches are not such a curiosity in Moscow. In the summer, in the central regions, a couple of times I had to see a hefty cockroach on the asphalt. Everything, in general, is logical. An abundance of cafes, restaurants, and other food outlets, but you never know, maybe some animal lover has escaped a feed cockroach. Things happen.
But in winter, at -8 is cool. Naturally, the hole from which they crawl and in the cold is warm enough for them, which allows them to multiply abundantly and even try to master the courtyards of the center of Moscow. Crawling out into the street, cockroaches die and appear to the eyes of Muscovites.
In the photo - the same graduate (or whatever his name is?), the courtyard and the main characters.
The shooting date is 14.01.10.
