Nocticola is a genus of cockroaches in the family Nocticolidae[1] distributed in Africa, south-east Asia and Australia.[2] Nocticola are different from every other cockroach in that they are not infected with Blattabacterium cuenoti. This makes them the only genus in the dictyoptera superorder besides mantids that do not have the bacteria.[3]

gollark: Or at least, there's no guarantee you will get all presses in a finite amount.

gollark: Technically it can take an infinite number of meteorites, even.

gollark: * that you'll get it in two metiorites

gollark: You are not guaranteed two meteorites!
