Greetings.

This insect was found in a home in Illinois. (today, spring :) )

I have done a lot of image searching and am having a hard time identifying it. I am guessing it is not full grown, so it is not lining up with many of the "bug index" sites that mostly focus on. Any ideas on what it is?

my amateur description:
I think I see 6 legs, but they seem more proportionate to there being 8 legs. The head seems brown, while the body is transparent / tan. Near the rear of the insect there is a dark section. I do not see much for antenna on the head. On the rear it looks like a hint of "pinchers" starting to show.

Any identification assistance woudl be helpful. :)

thanks
