These hideous biting insects showed up in swarming masses two years ago. The exterminator said we never used to have these in our state. Guess they must have migrated as stowaways so now we DO have them.
They were everywhere you looked, on faucet handles, hand towels, in BED, crawling up the sides of the house and under the screen doors, in my mailbox, etc…

Isn’t it an exuvia? Wing venation doesn’t seem to match that of Dermaptera to me.

Hi bugman, “friendly earwig” is a different species to aggressive earwig (Which is Gonolabis michaelseni). It’s of the genus Carcinophora, I suspect it represents C. Occidentalis.
Just saw an earwig molting. The casing blew away. The white body stayed put on edge of outdoor table. Whathappens now? I have photos.
