Just something overheard

Ps it was an Absolute Spider

Just wondering if it is an earwig year? As in many years ago there were huge swarms of ladybirds? I ask because normally I rarely see earwigs, yet this week at our caravan, there are loads - found one in our sliced bread in an upper cupboard in the van, another lurking in the bathroom, and various of them on and in the awning. We are on the same site as we have been using for 26 years, on pretty much the same pitch and never been visited by them before.
On another sluggy note, I remember years ago strimming the grass, feeling something wet on my bare arm, and found that one unfortunate slug had fallen victim to the strimmer, and had festooned its dismembered remains all down my arm. I think the whole street must have heard my shrieks of revulsion! Not a good day for me or the slug.
