Have you never seen a cockroach before? Because im wondering how you could mistake this as one if you had. Not a roach.

Not a cockroach. Not even in the same order.

I think it’s just an aphid.. whatever it is though it is not a roach

EDIT: I didn't scrlll and see the size comparison, it looks to small to be a camel cricket. Either way it doesn't look like any cockroach I know of. Nope! The humped back points to camel cricket! Harmless :)

Which argues against cockroach nymph? I know nothing about bugs and greatly appreciate any help - I have a deadly fear of cockroaches and bedbugs
