We just moved into a new house a month ago and I found this on the wall on my second floor. Is this a wood roach??

Does appear to be an adult male Parcoblatta pennsylvanica...
Not a pest species, nothing to be concerned about at all, they just live outdoors, and males are often attracted to lights. :) Species page here.

Sure looks like it to me, but wait for the roach experts. Definitely not one of the major pest ones in any case
