Earwigs.
Hi! Earlier on in the year when I was having a tidy up I was amazed at how many earwigs there was. I have millions of the little blighters. They're under every pot,stone,bucket and even make their way up the bird feeder hiding underneath the feeder tops. I don,t kill anything in my garden and I believe they are a predator so is this a sign my garden is healthy? I don,t know! However!! Back in the seventies in my other garden before I move to get married I saw a devils coach horse beetle. That was forty years ago and I have never seen another since. Until this summer when I found FOUR of them in my back garden. I was thrilled to bits. I know they are a gardeners friend. I got my books out to see what they prey on and lo and behold they munch on earwigs!! I can't wait for next year to see what other creepies will find their home here.

I managed to bring one in with me the other day - he was on the settee. I didn't put him in the sandwich I was eating though.
Maybe he fancied whatever was on the telly...
Always 'spider city' here too. I released one I found in the shed yesterday that had got stuck in a plastic bag with some bits and pieces. He never even thanked me - ungrateful s*d
Mind your head ... it’s coming over .... 🥔
