This creature walked in the front door and thoroughly scared the living daylights out of us:

Any idea what it might be? >_<

    I think this is it:

    Doesn't look harmful or anything, I think we just killed an innocent beetle. D:

    Thanks for the link and peace of mind!

    Umm... kind of looks like a cockroach to me.

    Best of luck with that.

    Those would be mighty weird antennae for a cockroach.

    That's a male Madagascar hissing cockroach. Harmless.

    I would be amazed if that turned out to be a hissing cockroach.

    For reference: mhcunderneath.jpg

    Also, Madagascar hissing cockroaches are (unsurprisingly) native to Madagascar and haven't really spread outside of that area as far as I'm aware.

    edit: It definitely does look like a Palo Verde Root Borer, OP. I wouldn't worry myself about cockroaches at all.
