    Maybe...But, the antennae and elytra make me suspect Coleoptera. Possibly a tortoise beetle (Cassidinae) or a firefly (Lampyridae). I am leaning towards it being a firefly because of the antennae. Posted 6 years ago

      Thanks, looks like you're absolutely right. I never figured a firefly looks like that! Posted 6 years ago

        You're welcome. It does resemble a cockroach though, so I can see why you guessed that at first. Posted 6 years ago
