Of all the insects I hate...

Paul Iddon

... one of them is the earwig!

Along with centipedes they make my skin crawl and my hand flinch away if they get too close or worse still - on my hand!

Fortunately, this one was on a flower head, and was a good few inches from the danger zone (i.e. if it had landed on me, it wouldn't have survived zone...)


C&C as always.

The earwig is my Favorite insect. Thank you for capturing this cute little creature! They are omnivorous and eat everything from decaying material to other insects to flowers.

That's because slugs and snails are so patently gross I reckon! I see where you're coming from with that one Brian.
