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.

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.
my son on a bug hunt
A man was nice enough to give my son a butterfly that landed on him because he saw us looking for insects. We thanked the stranger and put the butterfly in our jar. On our way back to the car we saw a giant beetle running across the trail. We caught it and threw it in the jar. As we were getting close to the car I looked in the jar and saw the beetle munching on the butterfly! I couldn't believe it, he was really going at it. Baffled, I came home and scoured the internet trying to identify the giant hungry beetle. It turns out, out of all beetles we could have came across and put in the jar with the butterfly was one called.....a caterpillar hunter
