CULT: Earwigs!


We're having a plague of earwigs.  They're everywhere.  So far no evident
plant damage, but they are feeding greedily on any soft-rot spots and I
suspect they could spread the soft-rot bacteria on their jaws.

The real mess is that they are climbing stalks, invading blooms, and eating
pollen!

The wolf spiders are having a great time, bloating to capacity on fresh earwig.
