Cockroaches are considered as one of the fastest insects in the world. Thanks to their jointed legs, flattened body, and the ability to rapidly change leg movements, cockroaches can run up to 3 miles an hour (nearly 5km)! Their speed with such body size would be equivalent to humans running 200 miles an hour (nearly 322km)!
