Cockroach nymph (likely a brown-banded cockroach)

Warm indoor spaces, especially kitchens, bedrooms, and furniture or appliances; brown-banded cockroaches often favor drier areas.

Omnivorous scavengers that eat crumbs, grease, sweets, and household materials such as paper or glue.

Nocturnal and quick-moving; females attach egg cases in sheltered spots, and nymphs develop through several molts. The pictured insect’s shape and markings are consistent with a cockroach nymph, though the photo does not confirm the species.

Can contaminate food and surfaces, and cockroach allergens may worsen asthma; otherwise, it poses no direct serious danger to people.
