roach - Ischnoptera deropeltiformis

roach - Ischnoptera deropeltiformis
Aberdeen Proving Ground, Harford County, Maryland, USA
November 11, 2018
Size: 14.5 mm
Found under log in mixed hardwood/pine forest. If unidentifiable, please let me know what features should be photographed to further assist in the ID -- I still have the live roach.

BTW -- are there any good keys to roaches for (Eastern) North America? Thanks!

Moved, I.deropeltiformis nymph...
Moved from Cockroaches and Termites.

And besides one checklist of the roaches of Florida, there aren't many keys or such for the NA Blattodean fauna. :/
