Melanophora roralis. You have earwigs in the wood pile. |

Or more likely Porcellio woodlice (I'd be interested to know of any rearing from Forficula, John...)

You are right, I was mixing up hosts of two species of Oestroidea that like to hang around rotting wood. Triarthria setipennis is the earwig parasite. Edited by John Carr on 01-09-2020 21:09 |
