Hmm. This was interesting. The immaculata beetle came very fast along the branch. The cockroach realised it and went to back off. The beetle however, seemed to make amourous advances when the cockroach turned, which it was not very happy about, and to avoid the situation it simply moved upsidedown along the same branch and took off. Not seen anything like this before.
