OK, I admit this is not a very good shot given the fact that I found this critter in the house and squashed him/her before deciding I wanted to take a photo to identify it ... but is this an earwig? If so, what type? It doesn't seem to have real "pinchers".

Thanks,
Linda

It looks pretty much like the European Earwig (Forficula auricularia): http://bugguide.net/node/view/19936/bgpage

We haven't got a picture yet in BugFiles: http://davesgarden.com/bf/go/1362/
