Of all the insects I shudder at finding and photographing, the centipede is one, and the earwig is the other.

Just something about earwigs that I really, really don't like!

So when I found one tonight, I took the photos anyway... Ugh!

    No sign of shudder in the images. An impressive set.

    You have just made me realise that I am not finding them in under-stone searches.
