Virginia Wood Cockroach - Parcoblatta virginica - Female

Is this a beetle? If so, what kind, please? If not, what is it? It kept trying to burrow away from me and my camera.

Parcoblatta virginica?
It has a almost solid dark colored head like most P. virginica but I have not seen it in the several species of Parcoblatta I have had.

Sorry
It was a joke. Your comment said it kept trying to borrow from you, rather than burrow. :)

Oh, Brad!
Spell check won't catch those mistakes for me!
