Rove Beetle (Staphylinidae), Heeswijk-Dinther, Netherlands
Apologies for the poor photo, it's a deep crop of a very fast moving subject.
This arthropod can be mistaken for an ear wig, yet the lack of large pinchers (cerci) at the end of the abdomen give away that this is a beetle instead. In dutch, the family name "Staphylinidae" translates to "Short Shield Beetles". This is in reference to the wing casing being extremely short, requiring their wings to be folded up below it.
I've not yet been able to match it to a single species. There's many species, and information is scarce.
