Earwig insect

Description:

Although it is named the Earwig, it has nothing to do with ears or wigs. This one might be a female because it's tail or pincers does not look very big or complex. Length slightly less than 2cm. Body colors: black, light and dark brown. This one might be a flyable species because there seems to be wing sacs on it's back.

Habitat:

Vegetations of Kinabalu Park, Kundasang, Sabah.

Notes:

This is the only picture that I managed to take because it run very fast and escaped from sight before I could take another photograph. I cannot afford to search for it after it escaped because I was walking with my families and I have to keep on catching up in order not to be left behind. >>>Map accuracy : 50m diameter.
