My youngest earwig

My youngest earwig
Maricopa County, Arizona, USA
October 29, 2014
Size: ~4.3mm
This is my youngest earwig nymph. The black "Conatelus" with 4mm in length was served as a ruler. Please look at photo#1014606 and #1013934 for images of older nymphs. Since they have both the ringlegged feature and the white bands around the neck and the antennae, I would like to know what will the species be if it is a hybrid between black "Anisolabis Maritima" and brown "Euborellia Annulipes". We do have a lake nearby.
The youngest one showed brown color and the older one in photo #1014606 showed the preserved colors in the sequence of brown, black and brown. Except the youngest one, they all have a black head. The number of the segments in the antennae seems to increase as they are getting older (if they are not damaged since they break easily).

"Moved" auto-replies
Whenever an editor moves a photo, a comment is automatically generated to let you know that the photo has been moved. To see where the photo is now located, look at the chain of nested hyperlinks displayed above the photo. In this case, I moved your photos to the general earwig section (Dermaptera). Eventually, someone who knows more about earwigs may move them somewhere more specific--I was just cleaning up the back pages of "ID Request."
