I wonder who is the woman with the huge but very lovely hands who poses with all of the umbrellas and earbuds in aliexpress ads?

@futurebird

Umbrellas for action figures.

@Moondancer

No they are full size... they just use earwig wing folding technology.

(I long for an earwig-based umbrella. It would be so compact yet so elegant. )

@futurebird @Moondancer

Earwigs have wings‽

@poleguy @Moondancer

yes! they can fly. But they fold them up into a little backpack and people are always surprised. They are such magical little creatures.

Wow. I've been around earwigs my whole life, and I don't think I've ever seen one fly or with wings extended. I always wondered how these little crawling things managed to get EVERYWHERE.

@JSteven

I saw very few actually fly. The first time I saw one I did not recognise it until it landed and folded it´s wings in. It is kind of freaky the first time.
