Not quite sure why. It just came to me.
I think you could do this as a throw-away sight gag in a surreal horror film, using CGI; hence the category.
Off to bed now.

Original, but trivial. Meh. |
|
| |
What a quirky idea. Are the cockroaches invisible, and live on glasses? Everything about this is crazy, but I LOVE it. |
|
| |
I like this - original and different. so + |
|

[Fox], both the how and the why are restricted to horror films in the first instance. |
|

However, if someone wants to play Genetic Modification (frowned upon in this bakery, I know), I believe there is already such a thing as transparent chitin (which is what the outside of an insect is made of). That just leaves the insides. I suppose we could settle for a bug whose insides you can see, but that wasn't what I originally pictured; I was imagining something that you might mistake for lenses of some sort, until it moved. |

Well, it's probably just as well that I went to bed at that point. |

Now that you have explained it, the
mystery has gone - so you loose that +
sometimes it's best to stay silent. (a lesson
I never learned). |

Breeding cockroaches in transparent environment would make them colored in the splochy tones of whatever's beneath them. |
|
| |
And for the 'why?'. If scientific history has taught us anything, it is that if there's a 'how,' a 'why' is disregarded. |
|
| |
I dunno. Sounds kinda fun to me. + |
|
| |
It's just occurred to me, rather belatedly, that another raison d'etre for these creatures would be to infest [benfrost]'s jam cupboard. |
|
| |
If you bred them in the gloom of some kind of cave environment, they might loose their pigmentation over time. |
|
| |
They would lose their pigmentation, leaving them bone white. As if they weren't revolting enough. |
|
| |
Now, better than that: Get the entire bug totally transparent, and it's nowhere near as revolting to have a cockroach infestation in your house: if you can't see them, they must not be there. |
