Ringlegged Earwig (Euborellia annulipes)
Found this crawling in my kitchen.
Hard to get the whole thing in focus...kind of a long bug...and fast moving.

Lovely shot... I particularly like the detail on the eye and antennae. :3
... brings to mind a shaggy-dog story about an earwig playing soccer ...
Awr <3 Very nice shot. Much like the first comment, that eye in particular came out beautifully o.o

Jerusalem Crickets are harmless too. But, their size can be a bit alarming at times.
Aren't the pinchers their ovipositors or however the hell you spell it?
So they're fully functional and are used to capture prey or assist in grabbing onto things?
those.... fucking things.
they're half the reason why I'm so deathly afraid of bugs |:[

horror stories from back when I was young.
I used to live in a place that was filled with these shits, and my dad wouldn't do anything to get rid of them so I started having nightmares about them cutting me up and whatnot.
really happy childhood memories y'see.

I know.
just like most bugs I encounter.
but as soon as I see one in my home, I turn into a sissy as long as the thing lives. I really wish I had more balls to just get them out of my home instead of killing them. I dunno why but they seem to have fun, walking and flying around.

Oh, wow, you caught the facets in its eye. And I love the little white bit on the antenna!
I always found them cute little buggars, though I think I may have a mild allergy to them
Whenever there's one around and I pick it up by the pincers to put it outside, red spots form on my fingers-and this is when they hadn't even gotten the chance to pinch me!
