Roach looking bugs?

[yomax4]

I cut a lot of wood and for years now I pull the bark off of dead red elms and these ugly roach looking things are crawling around in the bark. Anyone ever had to deal with them? Not real cockroaches I hope. They seem to die easily and run for cover when exposed. They give me the willies..

Probably wood beetles (aka wood roaches). They will bore tunnels in your firewood if stored in a damp/shady location.
