  Yes, trying to fill some obscure categories a little. Unfortunately many of my older pictures are "not quite" this quality *rolleyes* Posted 8 years ago

    Don't let that stop you from sharing them. If the species is clearly visible, it does not have to be a master piece. Posted 8 years ago

The Shore Earwig

''Labidura riparia'' is a species of earwig in the family Labiduridae, formerly ''Forficula riparia'' , characterized by their modified cerci as forceps, and light tan color. They are more commonly known as the striped earwig, due to two dark longitudinal stripes down the length of the pronotum. They are often referred to as ''Labidura japonica'', although said species is a subspecies found only in Japan.
