You can put this solution on YOUR website!
American cockroach is nearly 2.0 miles per hour
so 2mph= 0.03mpmin. = 0.0005mpsec.
so 0.0005Mps = 2.64Feet per sec. (Fps)
%28Speed%3A+2+feet+7+inch%29%2F%28Height%3A+5+feet+1+inch%29
%282.64Fps%29%2F%285.08F%29
52% of your body in 1 Second
or 0.52 percent of your body
