Can you mistake termite for roches?


someone who have never seen a termite or a roach, maybe.


Well, seeing as how a "roche" is the French word for "rock," I think that perhaps if you be three sheets to the wind, you might mistake a small insect for a rock.

If in typing "roche" you in actuality meant to say "roach," as surrounded by "cockroach" (but fell slightly short of your goal), so that your question is instead "Can you mistake termite[s] for [roaches]?" then I state that you could only do so if you were underneath the influence of certain substances. They look quite different, mate.
Answers:    Having been in the business for years, I've see people confuse some of the weirdest things for bugs of adjectives nature. So I guess my answer is yes, someone without the scholarship of what either a termite or roach looks like, may take the two confused.
