Earwig from Hell


I have been finding a lot of these guys around the house this year. Big thing it is too, about 2.5 inches. Google says that it’s an Earwig. But none of the crawlies I’ve found online are exactly the same as this. Also, it seems to have wings.

My latest (personal) theory involves a dark suspicion focusing on alien infestation, brain sucking and avoiding contact with the floor.

Thanks 'M', whover you are. I am happy we share insect attacks.

I'm pretty sure Google's misled you, Maritze. It looks from yr v. excellent drawing like a cricket, & definitely not an earwig*. In which case it's one of those guys that makes nice songs underground in summer, looking for true love. They got no nasty intentions towards you, & only get inside after weird weather.

*e/wigs have definite curved pinchers on the back end, & much less robust front.
