Any Idea What These Bugs Are?

I've been seeing a lot of these in my apartment for the last two months or so. Anyone know what they are?

Welcome to the forums.

That looks like a cockroach.
Those black marks look like their poop.
Do you find them around your stove, kitchen counters and under the sink more ?
Do they run and hide when the lights come on ?

Many apartment complexes treat for them.

I mainly see them in the bathroom and kitchen areas. They usually don't move unless I'm actively trying to kill them.

I've had cockroaches before and have roach bait out. These are much smaller. For scale:

No, but it's the same part of the wall.

These are much smaller
That's because it's a nymph. Not all cockroaches are full grown adults.

German cockroach nymph. (Approximately 1/4 - 3/8" in length:
