@nauticalnicole: Florida is home to several species of cockroaches and palmetto bugs, many of which have wings. The American Cockroach and Smoky Brown Cockroach are strong fliers, capable of flying short to medium distances. The German Cockroach, Brown-Banded Cockroach, and Florida Woods Cockroach have wings but are weak fliers, often gliding only short distances when disturbed. While the term "palmetto bug" commonly refers to large roaches like the American and Smoky Brown, it is not a distinct species. #bugs #florida #psa #fyi #funfacts #floridathings #entomology
