The Cockroach Hall of Fame, TX

Pest control specialist Michael Bohdan opened the museum inside his storefront, The Pest Shop, to show off some of his cockroach collectibles such as dioramas of cockroaches dressed as famous people (that's right: bugs in tiny clothes; check out Liberoache and David Letteroach in their decorated environments). Charter a coach bus to bring the whole family to this wacky hall of fame.
Other exhibits include Bohdan's "Cockroach Dundee" hat (a fedora lined with dead roaches that he's worn during his appearances on television shows like The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson and Live with Regis and Kathie Lee) and live Madagascar Hissing Roaches, which are giant insects that make a loud hissing sound when provoked. Bohdan has also been known to let visitors try on his hat for photos and sample Larvets Original Worm Snacks, which are seasoned insect larva.
Small in size and tricky to find, the Cockroach Hall of Fame is far from the Metroplex's most-visited attraction. However, it is a well known location, having been mentioned in an Associated Press story, the book Oddball Texas and on several Web sites documenting America's quirky roadside attractions. Bohdan says the publicity has drawn people from all over the country.
