(How many here have seen flying (American) roaches?) G

The German roach can fly too but they are more like gliding down from
a high spot. Our big ones can take off from a flat surface.
Fortunately they are pretty easy to control. You just have to
understand it is an "outside" bug that comes in the house. Control
them in the yard and they are not a problem in the house. The little
roaches are domesticated and live quite easily around people.

Roaches are nasty. ISTR deaths caused in infants. Attracted to sour
milk smell - also said to harm infants having a soft spot on the
skull. Women that put their hair up in a "bee-hive" are said to have
had roaches in the hair. Yuck!
