It's about 3 inches long and an inch wide for size reference.. I'm not exactly sure how I'd go about looking up what this thing is.. Found it inside my house in Central Florida..

Either a type of beetle or (knowing Florida) cockroach. I used to see them all the time in Winter Park. Try this guy... he's got way too much free time

Looks an awful lot like a roach to me.

It does look like a roach but it seems to have a seperate head, and is much larger than your average roach..

Looks like what they call a ground beetle.

The bug dude on that site says it is a member of the Root Borer species.. looked up a few pics and they looked similar, sad it's not a big menacing people killer eh..

I think it's a member of the long horn beetle family.
