They are often delicately called 'water bugs', and are part of the natural landscape. I can't imagine a trip to Culebra without seeing at least 3-10. They give me the creeps, but I've learned to accept their existence. Lizards and their droppings can be pests too, but at least they eat the roaches...;)
"Tropical cockroaches are often much bigger, and extinct cockroach relatives such as the Carboniferous Archimylacris and the Permian Apthoroblattina were several times as large as these. Cockroaches are generally considered pests; however, only about 30 species (less than 1%) infest urban habitats" - Wikipedia.org
Enjoy!
