Earwigs did like to hide in cauliflower and would come running out when my Grandmother would break them apart to clean prior to cooking, I still don't like cauliflower to this day, the earwigs I'm not bothered about...
Looks like there's several of them here on this thistle....

While I have heard of earwigs...and yes those myths were told to me a s a child...I have never actually seen one.
So this is a first for me....and NO...I don't like ths subject, but your picture has educated me...what a fearsome looking beetle.
