Sorry, don't know what it is, but it's neither a JB or chinch bug...they both have visible wings.

I haven't found it either. It has a exoskeleton like a sow bug. I also looked at ticks. Neither look right.

Looks kind of prehistoric, doesn't it? It makes me wonder it's related to cockroaches....

Looks like a variety of cockroach to me. There's a lot of different types of cockroaches and some of them look very similar. The underside photo is what has me thinking roach.

I'm guessing it's not a beetle, as it doesn't appear to have wings. That rules out cockroach as well. How big is it? Could it be a nymph? (might explain why it isn't too familiar, maybe it normally stays underground until adulthood?)

Not all cockroaches have wings. I found a site that lists 61 different types cockroaches and many of them look nothing like I'd associate a cockroach with.

Sorry. I phrased that wrong. Most cockroaches have 4 wings, but some have just rudimentary wing pads. But still, the back of the thorax doesn't fit with an adult cockroach.

Compare with nymphs of Parcoblatta sp. - the size, lack of wing-buds, and shape are all consistent.
