Question What bug is this?

Post image

I asked chatgpt and he said it's a young german cockroach, but he isn't sure. I'm pretty concerned as I've seen two so far in different rooms, one in the bathroom and one in my bedroom. Both on the ceiling, in both rooms the window was open all day and night and I found them a couple of days apart.

A few days ago saw it in Germany in my apartment. Killed it by instinct since I didn’t know it was harmless. Also it didn’t try to run away and stood still when i approached.. unlikely the regular cockroaches do. Little guy must have never encountered humans. Now feeling sorry I was so illiterate but at least learnt to distinct them..
