Yes, that’s an Earwig. They like cool, shady and damp spots to hang out. I’ll find them living UNDER a garden pot, most times.

“This creates a conundrum for gardeners… Should earwigs be allowed to remain in your garden to eat up aphids and other pests? Or should they be removed before they turn their attention to your plants? Generally, earwigs do not cause enough damage to be worth fighting. However, if you do see large numbers of them around your plants, you can consider taking action.”

They’ve killed two of my cabbages and are doing damage to at least 2 others. They’re getting nuked.
