Earwigs

These nasty little bugs are terribly prolific this year. I hate them however because they seem to always be able to get into everything! DH claims it's due to the unusual amount of rain we've had so far this year. I can certainly believe that, but I still don't like it. Yesterday as I was driving, the littlest suddenly cried out. When I pulled over to check him, there was one of those horrible insects on him!! I got it off as quickly as possible, threw it on the ground and smeared it across the pavement. When I checked over DS, the bug had bitten him on the leg! I swear I am going to figure out some way of keeping those things out of the house and car.

Incidentally, these bugs are also known as pincer beetles.
