I just found a very many of these under my kitchen sink, and despite my best efforts I can't tell what it is. Any help? I live in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Thanks for the reply.

Just curious if it's possible this could be another kind of insect. It doesn't appear to have wings like some sources say cockroaches do.

Your specimens have wings, they just are hard to see in your images. There are some cockroaches, such as female oriental cockroaches, where wings appear absent or nearly so - see http://www.westopthebugs.com/images/OrientalRoachLg.jpg for an example.
