Scope and content
Photograph showing earwigs on the ground next to a flower pot and a handful of straw used as a trap. A cropped version of this photograph was one of five that were published on Page 3, Section 2, of the Oregon Journal on Sunday, August 15, 1920. The photographs accompanied a story about earwigs proliferating in the Walnut Park area of north Portland. The photographs were published under the headline “Invading Earwig Entomologist’s Game.” They had the following caption: “Journal photographer finds interesting pictures of insects that are overrunning lawns and gardens of Walnut Park district.” This photograph had the additional caption information: “Earthen pot and straw trap.” The story gave the following description of how the trap worked: “Tin cans or flower pots filled with excelsior or grass and inverted on a stake also attract hundreds of the bugs, and the following morning the assemblage is exterminated with a dose of hot water.” See related image Nos. 376G0319, 376G0320, 376G0321, and 376G0322.
