It lives under the kitchen sink. There are probably many different sizes.

Looks like an oriental cockroach or water bug.

 
Umm… nice image! :-) Great detail from your D810.

As others have said, that’s a la cucaracha. You have cockroaches living in your kitchen! Probably an Oriental or American la cucaracha.

“Oriental cockroaches are often called water bugs because of their preference for dark, damp, and cool areas such as those under sinks and washing machines, ...”

More importantly, for you at least, is that it is not a lovable, beautiful solitary creature like a snow leopard, but that little feller has brothers and sisters. Most likely hundreds of them. They live in nests. Pulsating, squirming, writhing nests.

They scurry around late at night when it is dark and you think it is safe to sleep all cozy in your bed. They scurry around in the dark leaving excrement everywhere they go. They mate and multiply. They scurry around late at night when it is dark seeking other dark, warm, moist places to lay their eggs and start a new nest. Places like up your nose, or down your throat or in your ears and then eat their way out as they hatch and grow.

I wouldn’t sleep tonight before tying my bed sheets so they cannot possibly fall down and touch the floor. Put each leg of your bed frame in a bucket with ½” of kerosene in the bottom, and move the bed to the center of the room. La cucaracha has no trouble climbing walls.

Considering that cockroaches are from lobster family I am not so worried.

No. Lobsters are crustacea, cockroaches are insects. Quite different.
The both belong to Arthropoda family and have distant ancestors.
Sweet. Have some cockroaches for dinner then.
:-)

I believe grilled or chocolate coated locusts are the bees knees in some parts of the world. After all, what are they if not flying scampi?
 
A person I know also had a cockroach infestation in his kitchen. They certainly can be a hassle to get rid of, but it can be done.
 
Try the ID buy the Spray.




Possibly too many food crumbs being pushed under the kitchen sink.

Google will provide lots of tasty cockroach recipes. Instead of killing the little guys, just keep a food supply under your kitchen sink and raise them by the thousands!

Capture them in a live trap and when full throw the trap into the freezer. Once they have stopped squirming around, dump the lifeless little bodies into a skillet with a bit of olive oil, honey and garlic and toast until they are nice and crispy. Yum yum! Salt and pepper to taste.

Adds a tasty and nutritious crunch sprinkled over a fresh garden salad or as a topping on your cool, light and refreshing summer ceviche.

Fill sandwich bags the crispy bugs and throw one in your pocket for a quick protein rich afternoon pick-me-up, or in your kid’s lunch box. Experiment. Add raisins, sunflower seeds etc., for an extra delicious trail mix.

Just be sure to carry a toothpick as the little legs tend to get stuck between your teeth.
