Blaberidae
Thanks for the id. I did a search and people seem to like having them around. Found in Texas, Louisiana, Florida. I guess California is getting more humid.

Looks like 3 options for California
Green banana roach, Suriname roach, and lobster roach. Doesn't really look like a lobster nymph, so it's between banana and lobster.

Surinam
Thank you! I looked up adult Banana and Lobster, haven't seen any of those around. I've had some others that look similar to the Suriname adult.
