Last WARNING:

Once Again - "earwigs"


So by now you should all be aware of what I think is a real danger. The fable may also sometimes be true. Fight back and defeat them. Don't let insects conquer humanity. I sincerely hope that never happens. And yet, while I continue to look somewhat passively around for them, always keeping an eye out, I do keep finding them these days.

I know that I found a sleeping live one in the very first early morning hour of Christmas Eve, and then I froze it. That's its picture above.

But, have a Happy New Year! And believe me and understand, I hope that, by the grace of God, those of you who can see and hear may not have these pests surrounding or finding you, much like in a horror story. And now, I expect that this is the last time I will mention the subject of earwigs on the internet. Thanks for the platform, or soapbox. May we sleep in peace somehow, and not live a nightmare.

Seventh Earwig

Found Last Month

Actually, I found seven earwigs in September without really trying. I forgot for a little while where I had placed the bag in the freezer with the earwig that I had found in the driveway. Here's its picture.

Six More Frozen Earwigs

Some More Digital Photos

Last month I found four earwigs while cleaning our carport. One of them was even crawling up my bare leg. I later found another one in the driveway when I was mowing the front lawn. Afterwards, I saw still another one in the carport again. I captured all of them, put them in the freezer, and then later photographed them with my new digital camera.

P.S. The Green Anoles appear to be coming back here again. But, we didn't have all that many lizards around this past summer.

9/11/01 Remembrance

To Me It Seems Incredible

So you're telling me that about four or five Moslem men armed only with box cutters could start murdering flight attendants and pilots while around a hundred American men sat in their seats crying and whimpering like little girls on three of four different jetliners. How weak and cowardly those other passengers appear to have been!

And, how slow had our air defenses been that day if they were not able to catch up with even one of the hijacked planes? Or, how could a 757 hit the Pentagon with its hardened walls and leave almost no debris outside the building?

Are you really telling me the truth? I find it hard to believe this story still. But I saw those towers fall. Wasn't it live on TV?

American Earwigs

A Fifth Frozen Earwig

On Sunday, August 21st, I decided to look outside for another common earwig to use for comparison. Within a minute I found this one, but it appears to be the dangerous type. Right now I'm no longer certain about which earwig is what species or what their differences are, but I do think at least some of them are quite dangerous pests. And, who knows how many of them there are around?

Perhaps scientists shouldn't disparage folklore so much. There might be a reason for some of these tales. I have a book that lists a Little Earwig known scientifically as "Labia Minor" and classified under Labiidae Dermaptera. And its range covers the entire contiguous United States.

Green Anole lizards used to be almost the only ones found around here besides skinks, but now it's mostly some Tex-Mex species with a ridge on its back and a bull head. Fire ants and Carpenter ants have replaced bull ants and most other ants that used to come into our yard. Even honey bees have seemed to decline after killer bees arose. Go figure.

Three And A Half Frozen Earwigs

Digital Photos With A Better Camera



When I saw this earwig on July 18th, I stomped on it with my shoe. The uneven pattern on my shoe's sole crushed its head and thorax but left the lower abdomen and pincers unscathed. I froze that piece along with the other earwigs. I had let the common earwig used earlier for comparison go after having cooled it down in the refrigerator, but I think a Green Anole lizard ate it before it could move about freely.

So, in the last year and a half, I have at least taken out four of these dangerous earwigs and all their possible offspring (though one might be in a state of suspended animation). But it's likely that there are more around somewheres. You might try ultrasonic waves to drive them away, though I'm not sure how well that will work.





P.S. I was given a better camera after I used my credit card at hhgregg.

P.P.S. And, in my opinion, it was a big mistake for the U.S. to place "space bombers" and "killer satellites" in orbit. They should probably bring them back down. At the least, these acts have set a bad precedent.

Found Another Of Those Earwigs

Digital Photos Below

When I saw this one this past Tuesday night, I put it in a plastic sandwich bag. I then put it in the freezer. In its death throes, it bent its back over double and opened wide its pincers and closed them several times while writhing about. As it got colder, it straightened out its body and closed its pincers.

Here in Florida, the common type earwig has what looks something like an oblong segmented shield centered on its underbelly, while on this one the segments go all the way across its abdomen.








P. S. I really should buy a better camera.

I Don't Know

But I Wouldn't Be Surprised


UFO and The Moon

Maybe they were just assessing the situation here on Earth, but I wouldn't even be surprised if extraterrestrials somehow averted a total nuclear meltdown at Fukushima. I haven't heard anyone else mention anything about that UFO and the Moon, but I think that I couldn't have been the only one to notice it. That starship must have been about one quarter the size of the Moon.


Space Weapons?

I'd also like to know what secret military payload was sent into space from Vandenberg AFB on April 14th by the NRO. Was it just cameras? If so, why all the secrecy?

And About CIA Torture

I also wouldn't be surprised if the CIA has never stopped torturing prisoners.

What May Have Happened

Not a Rogue Asteroid, a UFO



I would conjecture that these are both orbs in shape. I think the moon is the larger orb in the photo, and that the shadow from the sun of the smaller self-glowing orb falls upon the moon to the lower left.

It was a clear night when I stepped out into my backyard at about 2:45am on March 14th and looked toward a moon looming large over the western horizon that seemed misshapen and that I didn't quite recognize. Being curious about it and not seeing it completely through the trees, I walked out front and down the street to get a clear view. I then went back inside to get my camera and tripod. At about 2:50 I was back on the street and took this picture. Seconds later the moon did not look very unusual, but I took a few more pictures anyway until it went below the trees again.

I'm sorry that the photo is a little overexposed. Both objects had an orangish golden hue like a harvest moon. I used the night scene setting on my inexpensive digital camera. I'm not all too pleased with my camera, but it's at least something I like to have around.

Looking Towards The Moon

Rogue Asteroid Near Miss?







Looking to the west just above the horizon around 3am EDT (maybe EST) on March 14, I saw these objects and took a digital photograph. At first I thought it was a strange looking moon like I had never seen before. But, maybe there was something else in front of our moon as I was gazing from my position in Jacksonville, Florida.
