Earwigs
Hi, I'm doing a school project on bugs and need to identify an insect it looks a lot like this but I live in Australia, not America. Is it possible I have the same sort of insect? I mean does that species of earwig live in Australia too??? I found it under a log its is also around 20mm long.

Maritime earwig?
This looks like it could be a specimen of Anisolabis, the maritime earwig, especially considering the size given.

Euborellia?
Doesn't Anisolabis have uniform antenna and leg color? This one has a pale antenna segment (third from the end), and dark markings on the legs, like one would expect from a Euborellia.

Yep.
On closer examination, I agree, Chuck. Nice catch!
