Identify my Excessively Large Bug. pic warning
My mom caught this in her bathroom earlier. Its body is ~4 centimeters long. Its two hind limbs are roughly the same length. Mid limbs are ~3 cm long. Forelimbs are ~2 cm. Its head is .5 cm wide. Body width varies from .5 cm just behind the head to .75 cm at the widest part of the abdomen. Its antennae seem to be about 1.5 cm long. Its wings are ~3 cm long and brownish in color. Its body color is black with a hint of greenish iridescence.
Anyone know what it is?

Looks like a deranged cockroach to me.

It's too awesome to die. Please don't kill it!
"The rest of the poem plays upon that pun. On the contrary, says Catullus, although my verses are soft (molliculi ac parum pudici in line 8, reversing the play on words), they can arouse even limp old men. Should Furius and Aurelius have any remaining doubts about Catullus' virility, he offers to fuck them anally and orally to prove otherwise." - Catullus 16, Wikipedia

Are those "wings" on top wing covers or wings? If they're wings, then it's probably what Camel IDed it as.
If not, it might be a longhorn beetle of some sort.
Brachyleptura vagans or something similar might be it, if those things on top are wing covers.
