Is this insect I have taken a photo of a pest?

By the way.....
Are baby earwigs called earwiggles?

 I do hope so......otherwise I'm a bit worried about eating what I thought was a box of "twiglets" last week.......

    Are Twiglets still around? Must look for them

Maggi, looking at pics and seeing one of those horrors dropping down on your arm is not the same thing at all.
Most insects don't bother me but earwigs and cockies freak me out.
No cockies around here but there are heaps of earwigs that love to eat my clematis flowers grrrrrrrrrr

 I suppose the pictures are different but to see such incredible detail that you never suspected was there...... Yeuww!

I'm with you on the Cockroach horror..... they give me the "heebie-geebies" and no mistake.

I share the dislike of cockroaches too. My parents ran pubs when I was growing up and cockroaches were a frequent problem in the cellars. They didn't bother my dad so he would occasionally leave one where the barmaids would find it (e.g in the till). Amazing I grew up normal really....

Here are some pics of Collembola (the 'springtail mites' we find in the garden) by Steve Hopkin. Some of them could even be called cute!

Earwigs and I assume also earwiggles were really common here 20 years ago, but I hardly see them any more. I wonder why?

I have seen what I think must be Folsomia candida () in my garden!
