Found by day inside of a home in Germany. Not very skittish. Don't see the black stripes a German cockroach should have. It's the second one I've found inside, while I also found a few outside on the balcony (ground level), one drowned in the bird bath. I've also seen one inside a friend's room and on another ones balcony. Every time during the day. Looks very similar to the post HairyHarry@lemmy.world made last year.

Never seen them before in my life, but it doesn't seem to be the bad kind. Or am I wrong?

Yeah, it's an Amber Forest Cockroach. They are everywhere. They're harmless and don't survive long inside.

German cockroach nymph. Kill it with fire.

Nymphs don't have wings.
