You're sure they're not earwigs? Well, the first thing that springs to mind for non-earwig, but earwig-like, insects is a kind of unusual thing called a Rove Beetle. I have no idea whether they are found on the Channel Islands, but do a Google and see if it looks likely. The sure answer, of course, is to catch one, get a photo and try someone at the museum.

ABOUT 6 legs???...it must have EXACTLY 6 legs to be an insect.It is probably a cockchafer or maybug.(35mm)Check up a photo and see if it's what you have.Maybugs fly and have brown wing cases and feathery antennae .Earwigs don't get that big in Britain.(13mm)

About six legs? They vary, do they? I suggest you get the zoological society down there pronto mate .... you have found a new variable species!
