Wtf Is This?

[mickey]

So it's the new year and I walk outside to have a look around and there's this thing walking around the ground so I take a snaphot:

any idea what it is? I live NOR and I also saw a smaller version walking around as well which looked similar without wings.

It's got a massive head and forelegs and when provoked it didn't try to fly but I assume those are wings for doing just that or long hops...but it just kept walking along and didn't try to hop or fly.

After all that it's probably something common like a variety of earwig or something
