6044 Hi can you please identify this bug. Found two or three in the last couple of days. Worried about it being a cockroach. Thanking you.

This appears to be a wharf borer, Narcerdes melanura (Coleoptera: Oedemeridae). See https://tinyurl.com/obonjsx for an image and more detailed information. Ed Saugstad, retired entomologist; Sinks Grove, WV.
