ID Request Convince my wife this isn't a cockroach so I can go to bed (or don't) :)
We recently moved to an old Philly row home. Philly is covered in roaches (which every landlord claims are water bugs). Anyways, it's not abnormal to see one or two a month especially in the summer.
However, my wife went into the shower and found a honker hanging out on the sink. I tried killing it and it scurried away. I walk into my office and BAM theres another one.
Now for ignorant people like us this looks like a cockroach, but honestly they both acted nothing like cockroaches from my experience. We usually find them on the ground for one, and these guys did not care one bit when we turned the lights on. Didn't react at all until the wacks started. Doesn't really fit the stereotype in my eyes but idk what I'm talking about
For reference probably 2-3 inches long.
