Ewwww, yeah, hate earwigs too. One time I went to water my grass, and the sprinkler wouldn't work properly. So I turned the water off, and took the sprinkler off the hose to see what was wrong. Turns out, it was FULL of earwigs! 
Nasty!!
When my son was young, he asked, "Mommy, why do they call them earwigs?" (He was so scared of them.) I said I didn't know. He said, "I bet it's because a long time ago people didn't take baths much, and they wore those big wigs, and I bet those bugs lived in their WIGS, then crawled into their EARS." Smart kid!! And SUCH a disgusting thought!

"We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle
"All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien
