Last night I ran into this weird bug in my bathroom. Thinking it was a scorpion I caught it. But upon further examination it wasn't. It holds its rear in the air like a scorpion whenever it feels threatened. It has a flat black body that is segmented like a termite. I'm not a bug person so termite was the closest thing I've seen to it.

I'll try posting pictures.

Looks like a rove beetle. An odd insect to find inside the home.
