Moved
The asymmetrical styles suggest that this is an immature male based on Roth's 2002 redescription of the species within Ischnoptera found in the US. The location in which the specimen was found and the coloration of the specimen are appropriate for this species. Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

Yes, native.
Probably an immature (or adult female?) of Ischnoptera deropeltiformis.
