Well, interesting question. Here in the United states they are a protected species, which make them dangerous to your wealth to kill. Less wealth-less provisions. I suppose if you killed enough of them you could find yourself dead from being exposed to the elements and starvation. Other then that unless you were a small bird or anything smaller then that in the animal kingdom you are safe. Interesting facts about them-more times then not the female will eat the male after mating simply because with egg-case production a developed hunger signal goes off as soon as conception takes place. There ears are on their face under and between their eyes and are sensitive to radar emitted from their most common predator, bats. they are the only member of the insect community that can move it's head in an independent direction of their body much like turning your head. The female is bigger in all dimensions then the male with the exception of the male's penis. The right 2 can produce up to 250 offspring a year. Both sexes can fly but are rarely seen doing so. Under certain conditions the eyes change from black to green. They are to be found mostly on vegetation but during mating season can be found anywhere else including sides of buildings, on screens of doors and elsewhere. Their second worse enemy is the small but mighty ant. When first born they are at their most vulnerable point in their existence on the ground amongst the ants who scope out where the egg-case is located and knows when it will hatch.
