While cleaning out my Gutters here in North Central FL, I came across an albino Cockroach or Palmetto Bug?

Would it have been worth saving for Science? I don’t live too far from University of Florida so I was just wondering if I come across it again.

Almost any species of animal can occasionally be albinistic. I don’t know the frequency in that particular species. I’m sure it is uncommon, but I suspect not a great rarity. Still, if you talk to someone in the entomology department of a university, I suppose they might be interested.
