Hopefully it's with one-way doors. They can always check-in, but can never checkout.

JBL..earwigs are these little bugs that are about an inch long and have "pinchers" at the rear. allegedly, and this is an old wive's tale, they would crawl into your ear at night and lay their eggs in your ear canal...and
when they hatched, they would eat your brain, or something like that.

Earwigs take care of their young, so they're kind of an advanced insect. They like moist environments with rotting wood, or humus.

I get great joy out of flicking them off the blossoms of the flowers in my garden, when I go out at night. They really like the blossoms of Echinacea Purpurea and New York Ironweed.
