The correct term for a Palmetto Bug is an American Cockroach. The tourism department didn't want northerners to realize we also had cockroaches, and big ones to boot, so they renamed 'em...
You can read whatever you want into the reference, but I can attest to there being some really big cockroaches in Florida, and not all of them have 6 legs.
