Correct identification is important so we can tell you where they are most likely found in your house. Cockroaches are flattened, oval body, brownish, fast-moving insects, with long, slender antennae about the length of their body. The antenna on your insect short. The antennae may be broken so it just appears short. They seldom fly. Their leg are covered with spines. I cannot see the leg spines. Look around your house for their dark-colored egg cases (size and shape of a dry kidney bean). Place sticky traps in the area where you found the insect so that the trap are tight against edges, where walls meet floors. There is a shadow so I am unable to see their markings. I am unable to identify this insect. I am sorry.
