I was in my backyard today an I see this insect wriggling around on the ground. Does anyone know what it is? I suspect it's some kind of termite. I appreciate any help.

wouldn't be so sure about the species, many of them look alike.

Family Staphylinidae. Looks like Ocypus olens or something closely related. Are you in Europe?

That's it, just without the stubby little wings. Thanks.

>>2218925
No problem anon, the wings are usually hidden so your one had evidently just flown somewhere. Might be worth adding, >>2218916
Ocypus olens is the same thing. Did a quick google and apparently they're actually invasive in West/SW USA.
