In 2007, my grandchildren and I went to the dump for free sawdust for the yard. It wasn't fresh as it was dark. Used trash cans to haul it. During the third trip, my granddaughter lifted the lid. It was moving. Literally. Turns out the wood was literally full of earwigs. We had a solid mass moving across the top of the sawdust. That one dumped out back after adding water to it. Today their children are quite happy eating my plants and being a nuisance. They live in the ground. When I dig they turn up in droves along with all the babies. Definitely more birds would be nice.
