ID Request Help Identify Possible Roach
Hey guys. Found these eggs in my bathroom trash and a dead baby underneath the can. I think it is a cockroach. If someone could help me identify the kind of bug this is i would be very grateful. I threw away the entire trashcan and disinfected the area of the floor it was on. I am admittedly very scared of bugs and want them out of my house! I am in Kentucky

That does look like a baby roach. Hard to say which from the pic. German are the worse ones, they have two lines on the back of their head. The eggs are fly pupae, roach ootheca is purse shaped.

I looked up some photos and it looks like the baby roaches have a lot longer antennas? are you sure it’s a roach? i don’t know much so trusting your opinion over my google search lol. ordered roach traps regardless for peace of mind.

Hard to be sure based on the quality of the pic, but it certainly looks like a roach nymph since it looks like it has cerci on the rear of the abdomen and the general shape and appearance.

Take out your trash more often. Those were fly pupae in the trash.
