Strange bugs
I have these stange looking bugs in my house that look similar to this roach but...they're black and have red on thier back(under the wings) and the entire belly is red, but, they don't fly, or run in light....since I'm new to this site I don't have a photo but hopefully someone can help me when i do....if you have any ideas till then, PLEASE let me know.

Adult male wood roach.
Genus is Parcoblatta. Can't get you any closer than that without dissecting the specimen.
