It is not clear in Kafka's text what type of insect Samsa transforms into. There is no mention of cockroaches in the original text, and the description given is of a "round brown pest" more suited to a beetle then a roach.

in fiction
It is not clear if Samsa is a cockroach. There is no mention of cockroachs in the original german text, and the description given by Kafka is of a "round bronw insect" more suited for a beatle then a roach. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 189.120.79.126 (talk) 16:14, 28 December 2020 (UTC)


 * I'm moving your post away from the dung beetle article, because article talk space is for improving articles, as fun as your speculation may be. In reading The Metamorphosis initially, (having just taken an entomololgy course), cockroach did not seem right to me, either.--Quisqualis (talk) 18:24, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
