Cockroach nymph (likely American Cockroach)

Damp, warm areas such as basements, sewers, kitchens, and bathrooms; also found in cracks, crevices, and under furniture.

Opportunistic omnivores (scavengers) that eat decaying organic matter, food scraps, paper, and starchy materials.

Nocturnal and highly agile; they undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult) and are known for hiding in dark, secluded spots during the day.

Risks include the spread of bacteria (like Salmonella and E. coli), contamination of food, and triggers for asthma/allergies; their presence usually indicates a need for sanitation or structural sealing.
