    Hopefully I am putting this in the correct forum. I was back home in the west recently and decided to clear out the overgrown raised beds. Aside from the usual woodlice, earwigs and beetles I noticed a lot of the insects in the attached photo, some were white and others a brownish colour, all about 6mm long.
    I don't think they are doing any harm just curious as to what they are. Hopefully someone can help me out.

    That is a young/juvenile Earwig.

    An earwig did come to mind at the time with the two tails but it didn't quite look right, I never thought they might just have been immature. Thanks.
