I found this insect in our bathroom with about 3 others. I captured it and took a couple of pictures. It has stripes on it's back and is a pretty slow moving insect.

Thanks!
Thanks for that. I was concerned because we have a few of these insects and I wanted to make sure that they were not something to worry about!

Thanks!
I really appreciate it. This is a pretty great community. I can't believe how fast an answer to my bug question came. It was about 3 or 4 hours. Thanks.
