Young roach.

Excellent, thanks Spidey - That was my guess too given the two "prongs" at the back. Who knew you could be happy to have a roach crawling on your bed.
Anyone know if these can cause irritation to the skin?

KN34, what are the two "prongs" at the back? Are they stingers? probers? sensors? What?

Haven't a clue Bait, just something i noticed that didn't seem to be in the bed bug pics. I haven't heard about roaches biting, but I will leave that to the experts.

In some roaches they are prominent features. BBs they aren't.
