Found one crawling across my kitchen floor, then another the next morning on my kitchen table.

Click beetle would be my guess.

I'll have to see if any more show up. The thorax and head didn't have much of a delineation between them like I see other click beetle pics. It was pretty smooth.

Fair. If you can get a clearer pic it will be easier to identify.

iPhone image lookup says it’s a type of cockroach. Do you have other pictures of it?iphone result

Look how smooth the head/body are and the lack of visible wings. Not likely a cockroach. More likely a beetle.

That's the only one I have. Caught it this morning at the kitchen table. It is definitely not a roach. It's very small, maybe 3mm long and 1mm wide.

I used to live in terrible apartments years ago that had a never ending roach infestation, I know what roaches look like.
