What brown bug has eight legs and pinchers?

Answer:

If it has eight legs, that makes your creature a spider not an insect. (Or a lobster or crab, but I am assuming you are not speaking of shellfish.)

Beyond that, more detail is needed regarding:

  • size of spider (measurement and proportion of body, legs)
  • location (country/state, and specify basement, flower garden, etc)
  • behavior (movement, feeding, speed)
  • web (if any)
  • markings
