Is that a cockroach?
Hello,
I just found this dead specimen and a larva next to it in the hallway. Are they cockroaches? Or a dead wood cockroach?
I once had a cockroach outside on the blinds. It could fly and wasn't particularly afraid of light, so it was more of a forest cockroach, right?
Thank you!
First picture shows a bacon beetle larva:

Which exactly from this family (such as carpet, Berlin beetles, etc.) remains quite the same, because all are among the material pests in the household.
The bugs fly to the window, they want to get out, but their larvae eat textiles, wool fabrics, mattresses, upholstery, feathers, carpets and some more – making them unusable for us.
Please compare – if yes and if above all several show up:
You should find out where more beetles and especially larvae can be found.
Wash infested textiles at least 60° or freeze for a few days, dispose of infested food outside the house.
Soils suck very well, here also the edges and strips do not forget, because these larvae are masters in hiding.

The German cockroach would have, among other things, the two unambiguous dark strips on the neck that yours has not:

Forest damages are not household damages – they live in bushes and shrubs, feed on rotten plant material, so go after a few days in the house lacking food itself. You don’t have to do anything against her.
From the trees and shrubs of the surroundings they come – and should also return there. ;
Fly gratings on the windows prevent further visit of these animals.
