Tonight I finally caught Mama Cockroach - the one who came in with the Chinese army girl painting.

Just as I registered that it was her - at first I thought it was a long bead, which our house is littered with - she slipped away, under the edge of a catalog, and hid beneath the overhang of the cabinet where I was standing.

It turns out, the only way to catch an adversary this fast and sneaky is - with your bare fingers. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!
