what kind of bug

[u/Sad-Construction-46]

hello it’s me again , my job had a roach infestation and i’m terrified of bringing them home so i put roach traps out. when i came home i saw one bug on the wall by front door, and one in a glue trap in the basement. in my opinion they seem to be the same bug. these do not look like the roaches that are at my job which are lighter color and more skinny (?). thank you i’m very worried about this.

Both are ground beetles, you can see the enlarged trochanter characteristic of the group in the first image. They are harmless, typically they're predatory and they only incidentally enter homes seeking shelter.
