 Obviously an earwig. There aren't many colourful insects in the UK so I had to do with this brute. I captured him, put him in a fish tank with some leaves and waited for him to pose.

Ohhh, great earwig shot, what a stout pair of pincers too - I suspect this may not be a North American specimen...
