What is this insect in my tea box?

Cockroach? Please don't tell me it is. It is not shiny. And has some little things sticking at it's back, at the bottom. What do you reckon?

To panic or not to panic?

It does like a cockroach, sorry, OP.

Yep it’s a cockroach! I work with insects, sorry OP

It does look like this German cockroach!

Bloody hell!!!

What am I to do now? Burn the house down?

Yep, or jump on a plane and escape the country

either choice will be absolutely fine 😆

Not all is lost, apparently they eat bed bugs, OP!

@OneSecond that would be one step too far for me. To start breeding them to fight the bed bugs 😂 fingers crossed we don't have both
