…have always been lovers of damp and dark places, but some individuals can be extremely inquisitive….so much so that some people who notice these things (usually those without any kind of significant social life….including me) believe that they have quite well-developed individual personalities. This one was quite obviously enjoying a few minutes relaxation in the warm Spring sunshine and refused to employ the characteristically defensive Earwig ploy of dropping from wherever they might happen to be down to the ground when disturbed and then scrambling as fast as they can into the nearest crack or crevice. Nobby (another UKN Ranger and notable bug expert), has also noticed an increasing tendency amongst Earwigs generally in recent years to remain exposed when caught napping in the sunshine….but he doesn’t know why! Another subtle climate-change anomaly perhaps? There are literally hundreds of such things taking place of late!
