That is an earwig, a varmint we encountered when we moved to Chicago. They become prolific and get into everything. Diazinon was the solution back in the day, but Ortho Home Defense Max (deltamethrin) or Sevin (carbaryl) are all you can get nowadays. Kill them quickly, before they take over. Spray everywhere inside you can, and put a three foot wide perimeter around the outside of your house.
