Here's my @inaturalist.bsky.social observation for this earwig. If anyone knows the species (auricularia?) please chime in.
The crab spider (see it?) is a bit too blurry to be a good observation. I think the rose is likely either Rosa woodsii or R. acicularis.

Field work in the forest involved being able to one of these and a topo map (and often flagging tape), or risking being hopelessly lost.
