When I popped the lid off of this floor panel in the basement of a building on the UES, I came across this secret water bug burial ground. It was a couple inches deep of nothing but the carcasses of American Cockroaches, i.e. the Water Bug. Interesting to note is the fact that they are not all belly up like we usually find them. In addition to this burial ground, there were dozens and dozens of live water bugs all throughout the basement. Most buildings in NYC have water bugs, and most NYers never complain so long as they stay in the basement.
