Q: If you were a cockroach, once you figure out you can fly, wouldn't you fly instead of walk?
Cockroaches seem to be very smart. You get the impression they know when you are after them, are very fast and experts at hiding. If they are smart enough to know we are trying to kill them, why don't they use their wings more often. I've only seen a few of them fly to get from place to place. Usually really big/old ones (probably the wise ones.)

I've once spent a good 5 minutes chasing a flying roach around the living room. It's not a particularly good flyer (e.g. compared to a housefly) although being able to outsmart me, it doesn't corner well. I think on the ground they are faster. But generally they do seem to fly less than I would did I have the ability.
God! You guys are really hitting it really bad! I know everyone's waiting for school to reopen and it's kind of boring. But cockroaches?
Cockroaches can fly like chickens. Badly.
Although, I swore I once saw one flying outside the 17th floor of a scyscraper.
I would imagine it's to do with energy efficiency.
They probably use up their energy store quicker if they fly.
a colleague related one afternoon how he was attacked by a flying cockroach in the shower.
There are not many things that i dislike, but the thought of a large flying insect made me take fast showers for weeks after
they are smart, vengeful, and can communicate with each other. go sit down at a little run-down outside bar in Ermita, on Manila Bay and squash a few big ones on the ground; no shortage of available victims lol. then watch what happens. Swarms of them will 'dive-bomb' you. super creepy! but fascinating too....
they fly good enuf, might not be on par with a bird, but a hell of a lot better than I bet most people would suspect~
you guys are creepy. cockroaches? really? But I do have my way to drive them away from my department. Onion.
I often envision, I am snake. Especially in the morning, when I must stand up, and move out of my bed.....ssssshhhhhsssssshhhhsssswiss, and here I am! Much more convenient than walk!
