If they were called "Super Healthy Rainbow Bugs", I doubt she would care. It's just the stereotype that roaches are unsanitary and gross. I think it is B.S. One person in my grade (I'm a 9th grader) also has a leo, and when I told her about roaches, she almost screamed. She thinks crickets are cute, and the smell and noise doesn't bother her...
I hate whoever made roaches the bad guy...
