What kind of insect is it?

i was cleaning out a old storage room. i found these little insects or bugs or something. they are about as long as my fingernail maybe a little longer. they have a few tiny hairs sticking out of their body. as for their body they have alternating colors on the sections of their body. kind of like black then a dull orange or brown, Their underbelly is white. They kinda look like rolly pollies but skinnier and their tail is a bit more pointier. i think the dead on im looking at has 2 little spikes on it. (forked looking like a snakes tongue. it looks like it has 6 legs underneath as main legs. possibly little tinyones more i cant tell. its like a rolly polly combined with a centipede combined with a tiny armadillo lol. any help appreciated cause i think theres a few of them

i saw smaller ones that were kinda pinkish and just slithered. i dont think they can climb, well the little babies can cause they kinda look like maggots. but pinkish

and i live in michigan around the detroit area if that helps

    Those sound like earwigs-look them up on google/bing and see if they resemble the same bug.
