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). Also, I'm in M
Ain't no way I'm grabbing a bug while it's still moving. My wife and I are both huge sissies with bugs. Standard protocol here is spray it with Raid until we are sure it's dead, then wait an hour before moving it to the trash.

Title cut off, I'm in Michigan and have no history of roaches. Never even seen one before.

Can't quite tell but looks like an earwig to me

It has the little pincher on its butt but it has a more roach-like carapice. Almost like a cockroach/earwig hybrid. 😨

Pretty sure that's a roach

I'm not from US but this looks like a normal roach to me.

Some day I'll figure out how to get out of Microwave

I mean, it's a spray for lots of things, roach being one of them. (Ant/wasp/roach spray)
I had it on hand for ants.

OP likes playing the cancer roulette game, I guess.
