Earwig!

No not this:



This:



I was watering my clones this morning and I saw this shiny black thing barely sticking out of the soil. I went to grab it with my finger and it ran over to the edge of the pot and disappeared in the coco. Man, just thinking about it is grossing me out!

So the question is, do I need to worry about this? If so, what do I do to control/eliminate? I'm growing with organic nutes, so I can't do anything that will kill my beneficials.

just keep in eye on them. Hope it's a stray.

This indoors?

Yes, indoors.

for anyone who searches, these thing eat the shit out of your crops! Worse than a catipillar.

tanglefoot on the stem so it can't climb up for a start.

I think it was going after the roots of my newly transplanted clones. I sprayed some insecticidal soap on top of the coco and all around the containers and the floor of the veg area. I never saw it again.
