What the......? Is that bottom section part of the beetle, or are we seeing two species here? Posted 3 years ago

  Yes it is part. It is an earwig. They pinch unfortunate others with that pair. Posted 3 years ago

    Sorry, did not realize its an earwig, and even for an earwig it looks so unusual! Posted 3 years ago

Wow, Peter, that's a fair specimen. Looks like a prototype for a new bottle opener! Posted 3 years ago
