La Cucaracha!

La Cucaracha!

Size: 20 mm
Is this anything other than an American Cockroach (Periplaneta americana)?

This guy scurried out from behind a piece of equipment on my workbench last night. In fact, he scurried to on top of my ruler, where I photographed him. Very accommodating of him!

Tawny Cockroach?
Ed, I don't think this is the American Cockroach. Compare with Tawny Cockroach here. I don't know if there are other species similar to the Tawny, however.
