If there's one thing that loves the High Line more than tourists, it is, apparently, cockroaches. A species of roaches that can survive freezing temperatures and has never been seen in the United States was found on the High Line by an exterminator. Scientists say they probably snuck over on one of the elevated park's imported plants, but don't worry too much: "There ... is little likelihood that the different species could interbreed and create a hybrid super-roach because their genitalia don't match."
