I found a large 10 legged bug in my house. It was the color of sand and had two large pinchers in the front. It looked like a huge ant. It was about and inch in length. I tried to squash it but it wouldn't die. It finally did die after I had smacked it over and over with a shoe and squashed its back end. If any one knows what kind of bug this is please let me know! I have attached pictures and it was found in the desert area of California. I have never seen a bug like this in my life!

As it so happens, back in 2005, RickJ had already answered this one for someone over in the Entomology section. That is where this question actually belongs.

It appears to be a Solfugid.
