Beautiful insect. Do you know that they can "bite" with the two claws from the rear end of abdomen?
They like also to eat grapes. I usually find lots of them between fresh picked grapes.

Very nice shot of Forficula auricularia, probably the most popular of all 57 earwig species occuring in Europe.
Very nice colour contrast, however I think it's a bit oversharpened. Anyway, another lovely contribution from you!
Best greetings from Lodz!

Yeah, Earwig. Known as surgeon from 'Bee Maya' cartoon ;-) You are really good with taking pictures with flash Monika. More than good! Perfect focus, sharpness and surprisingly good colours as for flash use. I like it very much!

Very well composed Monika. Wonderful POV and angle as it feeds..Very efficient use of DOF. Great use of flash and color that is set-off nicely against the dark BG. Very well done!
Thank You.

Really good capture, neither did I believe they feed on pollen. In Transylvania we have a belief that these insects would get into your ear if you sleep outside, on the grass, woods or haystacks and will cause you to become deaf and its why you always see local peasants squash them in panic every time they see one. Do Poles have same superstitions ?
