The ring-legged earwig
I'm wondering if this is the ring-legged earwig Euborellia annulipes. It has a global documentation.
Legs are a pale brown and have a noticeable dark band around the middle of the femur, or occasionally the tibia. Hence their common name.
Earwigs are omnivorous insects that perform beneficial roles such as cleaning up decaying matter. They use their pincers for defense, manipulating food and fighting for mates. Many species consume pollen, contributing to pollination.
Around 15 mm in length.
