Earwigs invading bird food?

Just went out doing my usual slug patrol when I noticed on the fat balls there was TONS of earwigs. Should I be concerned? Do they eat the fat?

    It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....



    I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
