Monday. |
But today she redeemed herself, for on turning over the brick I saw that she had moved the eggs into her burrow and was guarding them as a proper earwig mother should. Her body was also covered in dirt, indicating that she had been "remodeling" the burrow a bit to accommodate her young. And you can see evidence of that, for the hollowed-out area where the eggs were yesterday has since been covered over.
I'm going to keep checking in on her and the eggs, and hopefully there will be some baby earwigs scurrying around before long. I'll try my best to get some photos.
