    Two of these crawled out of the hole in a piece of ash I split.

    It had a set of horizontal pincers in the front. Not the greatest picture and it was kind of smushed. Thanks.

    earwig, but the 'pincers' are on the tail end
    They're somewhat common in gardens.

    Yes they are on the tail. Straight means female. The curved pincer ones are male.

    We see them quite a bit here, although fewer this year.
