A palmetto bug is just another term for cockroach. It's not a separate insect, or a distinct, unique species. It's just a regional term. Up north we call them "really big cockroaches." down in florida we call them "palmetto bugs." they're the same critter either way.
The really big ones (no matter what you choose to call it) are usually the american cockroach. The german cockroaches are smaller.
neither of them are as freaky as the madagascar hissing cockroaches, which can get up to 4 inches long, and are sometimes kept as pets and bedazzled with rhinestones on their exoskeleton.
