Hmm difficult to say...Has it been launched or can you get a pic of it from the top & put a penny or somesuch next to it for scale...

I'd say some sort of beatle but it could be a cockroach of some kind, the common ones in this country are German Cockroaches but that looks a bit big & wide to be that... It maybe an Oriental Cockroach tho...
