Cockroaches, on board ship (Neill, 1829; also cited by Samouelle, 

 1 84 1, and Cowan, 1865) : "It was quite amusing to see it at its meal. 

 When he had got hold of one of the largest cockroaches, he held it in 

 his fore paws, and then invariably nipped the head off first ; he then 

 pulled out the viscera and cast them aside, and devoured the rest of 

 the body, rejecting the dry elytra and wings, and also the legs of the 

 insect, which are covered with short stiff bristles. The smaller cock- 

 roaches he eat[s] without such fastidious nicety."
