The fastest cockroach in the world is the American Cockroach. They can run at speeds of nearly 2 miles per hour. This means that a single cockroach can cover covering 75 cm one one second. Although this does not really sound fast, the size of the roach must be taken into account. At only one and half inches it is relatively small when compared to the large vertebrates hunters. In relation, if a cockroach were the size of a lion it would cover nearly 50 miles per hour.
