Pulling down some old fence panels to replace them today, I disturbed a
large number of insects with crab-like pincers on their rear end. They
looked like scorpions, but I wasn't aware we had any in the UK. What
could they have been?

I once found one of these creatures in my bath and hysterically rang my mum
AND my dad and made them come to my house as I too thought I had discovered
a scorpion. Much laughing at my expense ensued when they realised that it
was in fact an earwig. I am blushing with the embarrassment of it all just
typing this message.
