Sorry, the link appears to be broken. We have an image posting tool on this site. Click on the paperclip icon in the toolbar above the response window. It will open up an attachment pop-up. Enter the url of the img file and click "upload".

Sorry, perhaps I'm using a different format. You may have to click on the button under the text box that says "Go Advanced." I did receive the pics you sent and they appear to be some of the outdoor-living species of cockroaches.
This link has a good bit of information about them.

For other readers, here's one of the pics

Thank you! I live in Philadelphia, PA so maybe it's a Pennsylvania wood roach? Why do you think it's an outdoor kind versus an indoor kind?

The wood roach is smaller, only averaging 1/2 to 3/4 inch in length. The main clue in your picture are the appendages coming out of the rear. These "cerci" are thought to have something to do with egg-laying, but they are not used for digging so cannot be called ovipositors. The leaf shape of the cerci are distinctive to the larger species of cockroach.

Oh OK, so it's an American roach then? It's very small, less than a half inch, maybe 1/4 inch.

Yes. Note in the page from Texas A&M that these insects have nymphs that look just like the adults, only smaller. They don't have larva or pupal stages.
