But you know, Pat, I didn't see ONE earwig this summer (not that I searched).
Very scarce in the garden - I agree. I took down a bird feeder nailed to a tree and there were HUNDREDS of earwigs behind it - mighty gross.

I have also seen the assassin bug this week - in GREAT numbers. They are quite large (as WI bugs go) and I was thinking this was the next plague being visited upon us, until I read about what they eat!! Asian Lady Beetles!! Yippee!!!
