What is this bug? Found it dying on my bathroom floor, finished it off with roach spray. It has roach like antenna, but I've never seen a roach this long and thin (about an inch long). (lemmy.world)

I'm in Michigan if that helps. Never even known anyone around here who has seen or had a roach problem.

You used the correct spray. I can’t ID the species but knowing the approximate location would help narrow it down.

Michigan, specifically southwest.

Possibly an Oriental Cockroach, Blatta orientalis

Where I'm from roaches are at least 1 inch long, usually more!

I've been down south and seen some before that I mistook for mice. I almost died on the spot.
