saw the same bug indoors, wondering how concerned to be. looks like it has all the same grossly visible body parts as a cockroach but it is a much lighter tan than i am used to.

curious

I've never seen one IRL and even I can tell that's a roach.

Not necessarily a pest kind, though, if it looks unusual. Maybe one test would be if it goes towards or away from light; seeking dark is the original adaptation that allowed them to hide in human environments.
