What bug is this?? HELP!!!!

[Trailgem]

Please don’t tell me this is a roach... my house is clean and I am freaking out. It’s very small.

I’m pretty careful with my Dubias and crickets... so I’m not sure how this could’ve gotten out, but I found a few in my house.

@jamest0o0 the bug king

It’s freaking me out... and all I see is tiny ones. The identification page doesn’t really help me much. I already googled the hell out of it. It almost looks like a black and white mini roach.

Where do you live?

 

[Trailgem]

South Carolina. Roaches here look different

 

[salty dog]

It's not a roach, a beetle of sort

 

[Trailgem]

Oh god I hope so... or I might have to move lol

Someone on a bug page said it’s a roach nymph and now I’m ready to scream.

James can tell you what it is for sure, if it was me, I would wait on his input

That is definitely a roach, looks like an oriental roach, but looks like it has white stripes which I haven't seen on them. Let me look it up

I looked these up, apparently they are from dry areas which doesn't fit South carolina. They do look similar though.

I'm thinking smokey brown roaches, OP look them up and see if they look similar. They need water/moisture sources and often come in from outside if you have leaks or high humidity somewhere. Where were they hanging out? Luckily, if you dry these out, you'll likely get rid of them.

That’s exactly what it is. Omg it’s a freaking roach. Why don’t i have any adults? Wondering if my fern that i just bought brought them in. Throwing that sucker outside.

I found some in the kitchen and some by the patio door near my fern. None in the Cham room.

I’m about to really freak out

Eww no I would freak. Hopefully that was all that’s in your house and you don’t have a problem on your hands

South east US, roaches are very common. They go in and out of houses, rich and poor. in florida they come out of the pipes even I know. People block off their shower drains.

I wouldn't worry too much. Just look for some high moisture areas, leaks, etc. Keep things dry and they'll leave.
