“The German cockroach can’t even fly,” Qian Tang, lead author of the study and an evolutionary biologist at Harvard University,

I dunno about that

Have you seen one fly? They have wings but the only time I've ever seen a roach fly was at school and it was way too big to be german

Some of us Germans can be incredibly big so I wouldn't be sure about that either.

I grew up in the Philippines. I don't know what kind we had there but they were big (1.5-2" in length) and they definitely flew.

German cockroaches don't get nearly that size

There is a type of cockroach that can fly, if it's hot and humid enough. It lives in Florida, along with many other places.

By living in German cocks, obviously

Last time I checked the Soviets stopped German cockroaches' attempt at world domination
