Insects you should know
Earwigs are light to dark
brown insects, about % inch
long, with conspiconspicuous
forceps-like appendage on the
rear end of the abdomen. It has
been in Oregon since 1909.
E arw igs are n o c tu rn a l
insects. During the day they
hide in foliage, under loose
bark or in most any tight place
they can find. At night they
feed on many kinds of plants
such as flowers (especially
blossoms), ornamental plants,
vegetables, grains and grasses,
small fruits, tree fruits or
organic matter.
Earwigs can also become a
nuisance in houses where they
occasionally damage clothing.
They are also disliked in houses
because of their repulsive
appearance, bad odor, and
habits of feeding in garbage or
hiding in such places as wet
mops.
E arw ig s are su b so cial
insects. The female lays a mass
of about 30 pearly-white eggs in
a nest cavity in the soil. There
she takes care of the young
until they are able to fend for
themselves. Young earwigs
resemble adults but are paler in
color and smaller in size.
Adults have functional hind
wings folded beneath short
wings covers but rarely fly.

4-Hers win awards
Like to be a 4-H volunteer?
If you could look inside a 4-
H leader, you’d find a person
who loves to work with young
people, has a sense of humor,
enjoys new experiences and
likes to continue learning.
These are' some of the key
characteristics of more than
,000 adult volunteers working
with about 50,000 boys and
girls in the 4-H program of the
Oregon S tate U niversity
Extension Service.
Without the help of the
volunteer 4-H leader, it
wouldn’t be possible to offer
the wide variety of experiences
now available through 4-H.
Not only do voluriteers serve
as 4-H club leaders, meeting
regularly with a small group of
4-H’ers in grades four through
12, they also serve as camp
directors, resource people to
other leaders, directors of field
days and other special events,
and as community coordina
tors, people who recruit leaders
and help organize clubs in a
local area.
It’s the 4-H leader who
actually teaches 4-H members.
The Extension Service staff
works with the leaders, offering
special training sessions and
supporting their teaching
