A few ideas that come to mind, with the banner statement that I have discussed absolutely none of these with anyone on the dev team so none of them have any more likeliness of making it into the game than anyone else's ideas:
-Did you know that roaches can live IRL without a head, for about a week? Terrifying. I don't think that would work here because that's a special thing we have for skeletons already, but that's just something I have to know about now.
-Giving them a sort of dash ability with the animation of tegmina/wings. Tegmina (forewings, similar to elytra but just rough instead of hard) could inherit the roach's "skin" color, and wings could be clear-ish. This would just propel them a tile or so in one direction, mostly usable for getting out of immediate danger or maybe flying a particular direction in space. I dunno, seems cool.
-Eating spoiled food, sure. Maybe they're not affected by Ants, so they can eat whatever is on the floor without worry.
-Maybe they can hear from a tile farther than usual, since they have built-in antennae.
