User's notes

This teeny tiny beetle I often find in my rose heads. It looks round at first glance, but when I took photos I could see that it was kind of more elongated. Was black with no colour markings that I could see (its tiny!). Sometimes there is also a black skinny thing with it with pincers which my mum used to call an "earwig". I'm not sure what that is. Didn't see any this year.
