This always makes me think. Cockroaches don't bite, are not venomous, basically can't do us any harm. I'm not afraid of wild dogs, spiders, tarantulas, scorpions, snakes, wolves, hyenas, wild hogs, bears (encountered them all) but I might actually scream if I get surprised by a cockroach.

I think this collective fear of cockroaches that we have cannot be without reason and must have an evolutionary reason.

Having said all this, I should also say although I really hate them, I kinda respect them for how badass they are. Truly one of the most badass fuckers on the planet.
