Heh, it's actually a goliath beetle, but you're right. Mantids are cool too.

earwig mommies are cool because they tend to their young with brood care

what's all this insect-o-phobia? some humans...sheesh! if they only new the wonders of the insect world...would they think differently?



side notes from the days of entomology class -
-house flies can beat their wings roughly 200 times PER SECOND (WTF!?)

-insects are the most diverse group of living creatures on the planet

-it is estimated there are 3-80million species on the planet
-but we know of only 950,000 species

-there are 350,000 species of known beetles

-honeybees communicate the quality and location of food by doing "waggle dances" (they go in a circle and then go through the circle they made and as they go thru they shake their butts. the angle/direction of this "waggle" when they cut thru their imaginary circle signifies the location of food with respect to the sun)
To see a video of this, go here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-7ijI-g4jHg

-some wasps lay eggs in caterpillars, to hatch and devour the caterpillars from the inside

-Flying insects can tilt their wings roughly 60% before stalling
-Airplanes can only manage 20%

-Male dragon flies, before inseminating the female, will reach into the female's spermatheca (its sperm-holding pouch) where other male sperm might be, and packs it down using a special appendage, so that there is room for its sperm. Thus, the mating male's sperm will be at the top of the spermatheca, and will have the greatest chance of being used, before the other males' sperm.

-Some plants have extrafloural nectaries that have evolved for the sole purpose of providing certain insect species nectar so that the insects (for example, ants) can use it as a food source while at the same time protect the tree

-Insects communicate thru a variety of chemical signals. Some moth antennae can detect a single molecule of a sex pheromone

-Many species of plants throughout the world rely on ONE species of insect to pollinate it. That means if this insect is to go extinct, the plant will too, because they have evolved a co-dependence


I can go on and on...there's just too many cool things to list..but if you're interested, this is great high-quality film on creatures of the undergrowth (insects and more) http://video.barnesandnoble.com/search/product.asp?ean=794051251428&z=y&btob=Y&bnit=HZ%20HZ


ps: did you know spiders are not insects?

PEACE and long live the insect world, they'll be here longer than any human ever is


--------------------
Life is one big road with lots of signs,
So when you're ridin' through the ruts,
Don't you complicate your mind.

Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy
Don't bury your thoughts,
Put your vision to reality, yeah!

I kid you not, one time i left my swim trunks hanging to dry outside and grabbed them the next day, put them on, and went off to the beach.  Somehow, about 30 of them crawled in, and didn't mind when I put'em on I guess - probably because I was warm :smile:  and didn't pinch me while they hung out in my trunks.  But when I hit the water, they got PISSED!  I thought I got stung by a jellyfish or something at first... scared the crap out of me. 

The earwigs pinched me scrotum.  So I killed them.  The End.

I killed an earwig last week, and I'll kill again as soon as I see another. Someday I want to get thousands of earwigs, and just step on all of them! KILL ALL EARWIGS!

"If we could sniff or swallow something that would, for five or six hours each day, abolish our solitude as individuals, atone us with our fellows in a glowing exaltation of affection and make life in all its aspects seem not only worth living, but divinely beautiful and significant, and if this heavenly, world-transfiguring drug were of such a kind that we could wake up next morning with a clear head and an undamaged constitution - then, it seems to me, all our problems (and not merely the one small problem of discovering a novel pleasure) would be wholly solved and earth would become paradise." - Aldous Huxley

aDoS, what's with the hostility? Perhaps you should talk to a psychiatrist about your urges to kill innocent baby earwigs?

Yes, that's right, I love earwigs!  They're the coolest insect in the world - gentle little creatures of the earth, with pinchers on their butts!  :laugh:  So versitile, I wish I had a pair of pinchers on my ass!  If I ever went to prison I'd be safe!


Hello guys!  *waves antenna*


Let's all contribute earwig stories here. :laugh:




FUCK. YOU. I hate these little bastards. For the longest time, these pieces of rotten trash infested my house. We sprayed and sprayed and sprayed and they still came back. They are on the same plane of bastard-dom as roaches are for other people.


PS: that FUCK YOU was just meant in jest  :wink:

I caught one of those and imprisoned it in a pint jar once.

It lived without food or water for at least 2 months.
