I think I have an infestation of these bugs in my yard, and they are making their way into my home. I have numerous photographs of them. Here, I have submitted a photo of what I think is a baby cockroach. I captured it outside my home and photographed it's backside and underside. There were at least 50 of these bugs on my picnic table all congregating together. This is the first time I have ever seen bugs like these in or near my home. Recently, my neighbour dug up his yard, and we have also had severe rain over the last three weeks. I don't know if this has anything to do with this recent infestation. These bugs seem attracted to my outside light, and i find them in the cracks of my sliding glass door, and occasionally in my home. They move quickly when I see them, but they do not seem to mind light. I have also not oberved them flying, though the larger ones do in fact have wings. They seem to come out around dusk.
