Beetle larva
by: Moni

The photo is not very clear, but it is not an earwig...they have two distinct pincher looking fork prongs on the rear and smooth abdomen sides.Here are images of earwigs - http://bugguide.net/node/view/2709/bgimage
My best guess so far is either a ground beetle larva or an aquatic insect.
Here are some photos of the ground beetle larva - http://bugguide.net/node/view/184549/bgimage
Where did you find this? What is nearby...plants? water? habitat?
Was this a recent find?
How long is it?
Thanks for more info so we can better Id it!
Common Earwig
by: Lin

Looks like a common earwig, but then again, I don't really know the difference between Common and European from the picture. All I know is that we didn't have any several years ago outdoors, now we are overrun with them. Have no idea where they came from except maybe compost or soil from nursery.
