They are not as plentiful in Williamsburg as Americans or Smoky Browns; I usually find them outdoors by dumpsters, under leaf litter and in other cool/moist places. Where did this one turn up?

It's not an Oriental nymph; it's an American cockroach nymph. It has turned fairly dark as it has dried out on the glue board. The telltale ID feature is it's reddish brown, at least in the anterior portions; the posterior has turned dark as it mummified. More importantly look at the yellow border at the edge of the pronotum. Now Google Oriental cockroach photos and you'll see all sorts of photos of Orientals and Americans (plus a few PA woods roaches thrown in to boot) and you'll see the Oriental is totally black, even the nymphs, and the American has that yellow border around the pronotum.

It's too reddish brown and the yellow margins give it away.
