I wouldn’t consider those as stripes, there are many pictures showing a comparison, I’d think those slightly darker areas are shadows.
The stripes that mark a cockroach are really dark and distinctive, way more ‘stripey’ - maybe look for a photo from directly above to compare it with yours.
The one on your picture looks harmless to me. They like to eat leaves and will die of hunger inside of the house
Well… would you consider those as stripes or just shadows?

I only found one inside. Hope little leaf eater is alright.
Thanks for the infos. I never had to deal with cockroaches before. Glad I’m on the safe side.
