Can anyone identify this bug?
I live in New Jersey in case that means anything. My mother and I just saw this bug that we've never seen before and I have yet to find anything about it online. It got away before we could get a really good look at it but we did see some things.
It was tan or light brown.
It appeared to have a bunch of legs. (Reminded me of a thousand legger)
It had a scorpien like tail (swooped up in the air)
It moved pretty fast.
I when I google for the bug I keep finding results with bugs with wings or big scorpien pinchers and that doesn't match what we saw. Can anyone help?

The only thing that came to mind was an Earwig. They have a tail that can curve upwards and look like pinchers. They are always brown and do indeed have a bunch of legs--maybe not a thousand. They do move fast.
Check out Wikipedia link to see if this was what you meant, If It's not I know that Royal Ontario Museum in Toronto have a department that studies insects. If you can find out online or by calling who to e-mail or talk to they can tell you with certainty what insect it is and send fact sheets. I used to do that for projects. Google them.
