Tawny cockroach, female
by: Moni

Rene
Your photo is of one of the Ectobius spp. of cockroaches, probably the tawny cockroach.
This genus of cockroaches have been introduced to this continent from Europe and are found in the northeast part of the country. The tawny roach was first noticed in 1985.
There is little information about them, so evidently they are not economic pests.
These feed on compost or other insects.
They are small.
