This Cockroach Pool Inflatable Brings the Bug to a Large-Scale Size

— August 30, 2016 — Art & Design
This pool inflatable design moves away from treats and cute animals for design inspiration, and instead chooses to highlight the infesting insect most well-known for being a pest. The floaty blows up to be a large scale cockroach with six pointy legs and an elongated set of antennas.

The pool accessory is known as the Gigantic Cockroach Raft and it provides a moveable lounger designed to be used in pools and large bodies of water. The raft is made of soft plastic with a texturized shape of a cockroach complete with ribbed shell and realistic prints on both the front and the back. When in use, it looks as though the floater is hanging out on stomach of a gargantuan insect.
