Earwig

It is an earwig - female. The photo is not clear enough to know which one.
The European earwig is a pest, tho others are not necessarily so.
Earwigs like to hide in cool dark places during the day and come out at night. They are found thru-out North America.
The European earwig are good predators on other insects but they also feed on plants and if in the house can be a pantry pest. When earwigs get in the house they can get into everything.
Since European earwigs like moist dark places then to control them keep mulch away from the house and repair any drainage problems near the building.
