Moved
Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

Either a fulvescens or caudelli (even though caudelli hasn't been reported from Maryland I wouldn't be surprised if they occur in that state). Both look extremely similar to each other, and the only way to tell them apart positively is to spread the wings to check the specialized segments beneath.

Thank you
Thanks for the commentary. I'll leave it as Parcoblatta sp. then.
