What is this? It looks like an earwig but from what I've looked up online the pinchers are on the wrong end to be an earwig. (Pinchers on this one are on the head as opposed to the end).

Thanks!

It's a primitive weevil in the family Brentidae known as the oak timberworm - http://beetlesinthebush.wordpress.com/2011/10/07/different-jaws-for-different-jobs/
