To me, that looks like an earwig or a silverfish. I could be wrong. I don't think it's a plant bug

I found like 5 on the underside of my plant container so I was worried lol

They are not tiny insects as the usual indoor plant pest are. They are much, much bigger.

Earwigs can eat plants down to stubs. They are my arch enemy….lol. It’s a gruesome battle outside and there are times they breach the walls. I figure a door left open, or on clothes.
