About 55 types of cockroaches live in the U.S. and many of them have wings that are used for flight, while others rarely use their wings. Several species are capable of flight for short distances, while others use their wings to simply glide, rather than flap their wings to fly.

Cockroaches such as Asian, brown, smokybrown[1] and wood roaches[2] are very capable fliers, but others, such as American cockroaches[3] are a species that commonly uses its wings to glide.

Australian cockroaches are present primarily in the Gulf Coast area and are adept flyers.

Asian cockroaches, which can be found in warm areas such as Florida, and closely resemble the German cockroach, are capable of flight.

The bright green Cuban cockroaches fly as well.
