This striped bug? Not sure. I thought it was an earwig. But, the earwig have pincer claws at the back end.

Regardless of what it is. Use neem oil. Try to flush them out with a lot of water. That’s how I got earwigs out of my Bonnie curly spider plant. Consider changing the soil, if needed. 🪴🍀

Possibly a fungus beetle. I might be able to narrow it down more with a general location (like state or province), but it's very likely a harmless little guy who just got indoors on accident
