I had the job of finding my step dad a Bond Bug which is in extremley limited supply now being over 40 yrs old. He had the first one in Aberdeen 40 yrs ago and we believe has the now the only one in Aberdeen. So after many hours of searching we got him this one and he got it delivered today. Its pretty amazing, copyright of Duncan Gerrie
A pincher bug, or earwig found on the patio while I was shooting another photo. There is a white hair around him - must belong to Missy. Funny how I don't see these things when I am shooting the photo - only later in processing.
Earwigs are one species of insect that can easily be identified by just their appearance. It’s their pinchers or forcep-like appendages at the end of their abdomens that give them away. This is also why these insects are known as a “pincher bug.” Even though these pinchers look like they can cause some painful damage, they are primarily used for holding prey and not as a offense weapon. Earwigs are usually scavengers, feeding on dead animal and plant material but some species will feed off of living plants. The insects will generally be more active during the evening hours and can be found under rocks, debris and boards during the day.
It is believed that the word earwig originated from the Anglo-Saxon word earwicga, which means “ear creature.” This term originated from the widespread belief that earwigs would crawl into the ears and bore into the brains of sleeping people. With that said, doctors remove the insects from human ears from time to time but it doesn’t happen on a regular basis to substantiate the myth.
Earwigs are often found near building foundations, similar to other insects such as crickets, centipedes and millipedes. To keep these pesky pests out of your house, keep your structure’s exterior free of earwig hiding places and regularly rake up dead leaves from the yard. Exterior pest control maintenance every two months and interior service twice a year will keep the earwigs at bay.
There are many different species of solitary bee,
all are excellent pollinators.
The female bee lays an egg on top of a mass of pollen at the end of a hollow tube, she then seals the entrance with a plug of mud or bits of leaf.
A long tube can hold several such cells. Hollow stems, such as old bamboo canes, or holes drilled into blocks of wood, make good nest sites for solitary bees. Holes of different diameters mean many
different species can be catered for.
