Exactly what I thought. Thanks for the new fear, brotha! I hated these guys growing up. Think I still do. They were always around a pool changing area, and that set a fear in me for life I believe.
I didn’t see these until I was 10 or so, when we moved further south. They were equal parts cool and horrifying, but they made my mother uncomfortable. So she would call the kids out to mash them if she saw one. Became a regular service. We even drew up a logo for it at one point - a kind of cartoonish earwig with the no symbol around it.

That’s great! Thanks for sharing that. 🪳🚫
