Coming Back to Bite You in the Butt
Or other vital parts!!
Two (that I know )of these nasty critters--earwigs-- hitch hiked home in our laundry from last week's camping trip! Last Sunday, as I unpacked and dumped the oh so handy portable collapsing laundry bag,,, there they were-- the first one I gathered in kleenex, squashed in the palm of my hand(yes, I heard the crunch) and flushed down the toilet!
Earwig number two -- same procedure, except for crunching-- didn't have the heart or the stomach-- BUT I watched it disappear in a whirlpool (cesspool) of swirling water!! Phew-- sigh of relief--- UNTIL-
Today, whilst super cleaning same toilet,,, hidden crevices, under the rim,, full monty--- there it appeared, clutching vigorously on for dear life to underside of rim--close proximity to sitting (or standing) area--
CRUNCH!!!!

OUCH - that's fodder for a nightmare!
You're right about that Jim-- those pincers look nasty-- both ends are frightful!
Yuck. I hate those things. They are so creepy looking. I had a scorpion in my shower the other day. Scary!!
Hmmm. Exemplary resilience hanh?!
Got this really creepy shiver on visualising it in the pot rim and... Stop my head! I can't seem to quit taking the story forward...
Ewww....hate earwigs. Strangely enough, haven't even seen one this year..hmmmm...wonder where they are hiding............
Those guys really look scary but I've never heard of them actually clamping down on anybody. Have you? You're so brave. I hate stepping on cockroaches in Hawaii if they're too big because I hate hearing that scrunch.
Eeeewww! I get the shivers just looking at those things *shudder*
I hate earwigs. They are so stubborn and sneaky. I hope you had a good telephoto lens so you didn't have to get that close. I also don't like the crunch, but without it you can't be sure they are dead. Sort of like a cockroach.
Ick, enough bug talk.
Yuck, I hate earwigs, they are so hard to get out of your house....
LMAO just looking back at some of the things I have missed since my last blog in November of 2008, and this surely gave me the laugh I needed, love you Aunt Sue.
