Unknown Beetle - Blatta orientalis
Newburgh, Warrick County, Indiana, USA
March 21, 2017
Size: 1 inch
Can anyone identify this beetle? It is apparently nocturnal as I have not seen any during the day but at night I have a yard full of them and they hide within a few seconds when the porch light comes on.

Any ideas beyond that? There are quite a few in my yard, can this blattodea cause harm to the yard or just annoyance?

Don't think it's Parcoblatta...
More like Blatta orientalis. Will wait to see what Alan has to say.
