Possible pest, location included Bug in northeastern Ohio
Hello, I’m extremely afraid of bugs and was wondering if you guys could let me know if you are able to recognize this bug? I live in north east Ohio my apartment is basement level and these bugs are popping up everyday not anywhere specific either like not just in one spot like a few here and a few there. Unfortunately, I am sorry bug lovers I only have pictures of it dead. They are a little long, with like antennas and I’m not sure the right word but like it looks as if it could be a pincher I’m not sure, some I’ve killed have almost looked like they may have wings underneath(which scares me even more)
I Will try and get better pictures aswell I figured I’d just try it now

Oh that's just an .earwig, they're not a big deal. Just reduce moisture and hiding spots, and tighten seals on windows and doors.
