kind enough to hide in an easily peelable spot but not lucky enough to avoid meddling peelers like me, this Forficula lesnei was so taken aback by my presence that he just sort of stood there and waited for me to be done and put him back. this particular individual apparently looks similar to the eastern european F. aetolica as a result of this species being very variable where i am, but to me it's all wigs

can you do Labidura riparia? im interested in seeing how many ppl know this species bc its been known to widen its distribution on its own, sometimes even by floating on deadwood across oceans.

Have you seen the shore earwig (Labidura riparia)?

Well, friends, today has been a day but we're still here. Have an earwig, Complex Forficula auricularia.

I had come across this massive piece of a stick as I was strolling through my property. Then, I decided to place it near a small pine tree, only to notice a family of earwigs settled inside of the stick as their sanctuary. I then took it upon myself to gift them with a house warming gift, of sorts; a bouquet with consists of a clover, henbit, and other small wildflowers.
