Forficula auricularia
Medium-sized insect with prominent cerci ("pincers") at the rear of the abdomen. Front wings small and ear-like, hind wings folded extensively beneath front wings when insect is at rest.
Common in urban yards and gardens, this one was on the door jamb of my apartment.
Ominivorous.
