mad al 146 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Found this in a pack of tea bags today, just as I was wanting a brew . What the feck is it?, anyone got any ideas? I initially thought it was a cockroach, but this little beut reared up and arched it's back just like a scorpion Sorry about the quality of the pics but my body says "no" at the moment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ferret15 0 Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 i thought this was a piss take at first its amazing how everyones perception on the world is different. earwigs are something i have seen on a daily basis since i can remember, yet you have never seen one. makes you think of all the little things we take for granted as common place.

Guest Ditch_Shitter Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Al; What are you? In ye 40's? 50's? How the F*CK have ye lived that long and never seen an earwig, mate? Do you live in a bubble??? That's honestly the most remarkable thing I've ever heard. Now go find a damp old cardboard box in ye shed and kick it ..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest The Shaman Posted October 4, 2007 Report Share Posted October 4, 2007 Cheered me up no end Mad Al Tis a male earwig for sure, females have straight pincers, and the males have the curved ones. Won't do you any harm, enjoy yer cuppa. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mad al 146 Posted October 5, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2007 Thanks for the input , I feel a right tw@t now , but you know it's all your fault. Ditch, I'm 54 and can't honestly say I bothered looking and took whatever was out there for granted and when I think about it now, I could go out side and move an old concrete block and there be loads of stuff like this . The point is, being on here I come across loads of info., tend to see and look at more stuff, everyday stuff that I wouldn't have thought twice about before and I think, one of the guys on THL will help me out here and so it goes. I get quite a buzz from this sort of thing and the chance to input on a variety rather than bang on about rifles/caliber/spring or PCP/clothing/100 rabbits a night etc etc. So you lot, you'll have loads more shite like this from me, now that I've climbed out of the box..............Al Quote Link to post Share on other sites
