    Looks kinda furry, but I agree with mohamedd. I'm guessing it's a earwig.

    I've got earwigs in my laundry. Not the nicest thing to find in your pants on a chilly winter morning.

    It's an earwig, the pincer like tail is a distinguishing feature.

    ugggh that would be horrible. I dont like earwigs, they dont look proper. I dont mind spiders, beetle, moths, flys but hate earwigs.

    It's an earwig. I heard a story about them once that they could do serious damage if they got inside your ear, does anyone know if this is true?

    wikipedia says no.

    "There is no evidence that they transmit disease or otherwise harm humans or other animals, despite their nickname pincher bug."
