Erugh spiders are bad enough I don't think I really want to comprehend a prehistoric one! Gross!

The first one is an earwig, Forficula auricularia. a female (males have curved pincers at the rear) and it is in threat mode as the pincers are apart.
They are not beetles,or centipedes, but are insects as are beetles, but not centipedes, so you are closest.
They have their own order, Dermaptera.
