Flying cockroach

July 15, 2018 10:02am CST
Hello, have you seen a flying cockroach? It is raining here for about 30 minutes now. And I love the cold wind that is why I have all my windows open. And unfortunately me and my kids were all terrified because a flying cockroach went inside our window.

I have never seen a flying cockroach before. And from I understand is that they are quite big as well. I know they have them in Florida. But here in NYC I have seen water bugs that fly. And they are disgusting.

I used to live in Iowa and never saw one. Then years later we went to visit my sister and her family and I saw my first flying cockroach.

@Friendlypink I had a screen door between it and me. It did catch me off guard. I hope that I never see another one.

15 Jul 18
Me too. Though I can face them and step on it if needed. But still I know how dirty it is.

I am not scared of insects.

Good for you. Maybe it is all in the mind in my case. Cause I know that roaches are dirty and that stuff. And also I was shocked seeing them flying inside my home.

We are in a very wooded area so see all kinds of bugs! They don't annoy us as long as they are not in the house. Thankfully we do have screens on the windows, but they fly in the doors at times and we just escort them back out.
15 Jul 18
I might do the same way if the intruder is a pleasant insect. But for roaches that stinks ahm i think I will spray some insecticide to them and throw them out to the trash bin

I wouldn't like to have a flying cockroach in my room but I wouldn't be terrified. It wouldn't want to kill me, would it?
15 Jul 18
Ha ha yes it will not and cannot. I got carried away too because of the kids screaming and running around. Just to avoid being close to that roach. Lol but it was fun afterwards ha ha

Yes, a co kroach can fly though it usually crawls
15 Jul 18

I have seen them in Puerto Rico before but not here in United states
16 Jul 18
I see. I wonder maybe they can only live in humid atmosphere and not with cold climate.

I hate flying cockroaches! They are scary!

Indeed. But I can still face them and get rid of them so I think it is more of I feel yucky seeing one.
