does any one now if cockroaches will eat orchid flowers

I am very excited to hear that the little fellas really DO eat our
treasured plants and flowers! I have been fretting for over a year-
as to WHO could be doing all the chomping...with very little
productive advice. I have seen them near the pots- and now the
disappearances (of large buds, and newly opened flowers) have slowed
down considerably.
Has anyone else seen "scraping" on the foliage- which would hint at
slugs. I have been unable to verify their presence- only the effect.

Don't forget grasshopper will do that too. We have these small grey bronze
colored ones that'll scrape a leaf down to nothing. Tom Bell has a mystery
pest that eats the leaf's body leaving the veins in a lovely lace like
patterns.
