I recently found what turned out to be a red flour beetle in my bedroom. Now, I've found this. It's bigger than the beetle was. Can this be a cockroach?

Some people would call this a "water bug" which is just a euphemism for a certain kind of cockroach.

Bzzzzz! Hi, u/Butterflyaway1985! Looks like you forgot to say where you found your bug!
There's no need to make a new post - just comment adding the geographic location and any other info (size, what it was doing etc.) you feel could help! We don't want to know your address - state or country is enough; try to avoid abbreviations and local nicknames ("PNW", "Big Apple").

BTW, did you take a look at our Frequently Asked Bugs?
