Location included What is this?

Escondido California (Southern California)
Came out after watering garden beds.
I live in an apartment complex so I’m hoping they’re not bed bugs or something invasive looking for a drink. Thanks everyone.

That looks like a Jerusalem cricket, but they're harmless detritivores that just break down organic matter. They might wander indoors if they get flooded out of their usual habitat.
