I hate earwigs too :( One time I cut open a delicious peach and a bunch crawled out and I couldn't eat peaches for a year. :(

My hatred of cockroaches is based on them randomly climbing on me as a child. I get it >_

I feel you man. Nothing sends me into full eek-a-mouseism like earwigs. Once, one ran over my foot while I was in the bathroom and I screamed like Janet Leigh.

My mailbox post was infested with those earwigs. I did not realize it until my mail started coming with earwigs with it. I had to pour dishwater to flush out the earwigs and drown them at the same time.

An earwig dropped from the ceiling into my armpit and bit me while I was sleeping one night. Woke me up and kindled a grudge. Also, I had an intense dream about coyote last night in which he ate god? Also it turned out Annie had been murdered by her dad before the story began. 🤷🏽♀️

Then you should never, EVER, under ANY CIRCUMSTANCES do a search for an old US television episode hosted by Rod Serling called "The Caterpillar".

Yeeaaah, I'm with you, earwigs can go eff themselves.

I dunno. Seems pretty rational to me.

I can wholeheartedly relate, more so with fire ants and anthills (plural).

Earwigs are TERRIFYING! I used to live in a ground-level apartment with a patio door to the outside - no one had lived there in a while and when I opened the door for the first time, a whole nest of earwigs spilled out from the crack along the wall. I grew a little more used to them, since the battle to exterminate them lasted most of the summer, but they are still so creepy...

'Gahhhhhhhhh' was my reaction as well.

I intensely dislike earwigs as well, although I have no problem at all with most other insects or arachnids. I had a large number swarm out of a head of lettuce I picked from our garden as a young child, which freaked me out.

I had a similar experience as a kid right after watching Star Trek Wrath of Khan... nightmare fuel.
