Description
Hi there.
This white earwig (Dermaptera - not sure about the species) was sitting on the wall of the house of my parents in law. I think he was molting short time before I found him - that causes the white color. It was not an imago as I took the shot.
Thanks for all the comments on my ladybug-shots. They are all esteemed.

Another beautiful photo with beautiful object :-)
Thats crazy! We have those here, in fact too many- but I have never seen one that looks like an Albino version like this- or after molting. Great capture Markus! Funny how they are called earwigs, as it is an old urban legend-- they do not enter the ear by habit :)
Caught in the act! beautiful to see.
Fantastic macro! :)
This is a quite fine macro..well done!
superb capture and macro
I think this is the first time I've noticed one that's white. My lilies get these inside the tight foliage in bunches but this is a really excellent look at how they look up close.
Superb macro! I think you may be right about the white color, I saw a white cockroach in one of my flower beds and looked it up to find out that they look like that after molting.
Looks almost made of glass, fantastic shot!
bonne photo!!
Great macro capture.
Ouch! These guys can give a real nasty sting with that tail! Brilliant macro! Clive
