earwigs are pretty tiny. This would be much more intimidating...
and that picture is only a little larger than actual life size. It's more bark than bite though. That one is a male and the pincers aren't strong enough to hurt you. They're just big like that so he can pin the female to have his way with her.
smaller pincers, but much stronger
