Bug found in house & on indoor pineapple- 1inch,looks to have a 2-prong tail, black bug w/ orangish black legs

Question:As said in the title, my family and I have found a series of strange little bugs around the house. We first saw one on a pineapple around June 21 and have seen 4-7 of them subsequently around the house in various areas.

The bugs seem to be about 1 inch in length, possessing a 2-prong tail that is reminiscent of a scorpion, two rather long antennae and orangish black legs. They are quick little buggers who love to crawl about. (Non fliers.)

I've checked online and have seen nothing like it yet, but I'm not really that good at searching for insects it seems.

Does anyone have an idea what kind of bug this may be? Any help would be great!!

Answers:
sounds like earwigs to me. Nasty little buggers. They pinch with their tail and it hurts!

Leaf beetles ! Go to any sarch engines (Yahoo or Google) etc, and type black beetle orange legs and search.
