I have seen at least a dozen of these little things crawling around my apartment. They aren't very big, maybe 1.5 cm. They move very quickly and I didn't notice them until it got dark out. They are on the carpet, heating vents, and the shower/tub. I reside in South Dakota, USA. What are they?
Thank you for your help in advance!!
This is a young earwig (order Dermaptera). They essentially are harmless (occasionally, they may damage very tender vegetation, such as seedlings in greenhouses), but definitely can be nuisance pests when found indoors.
