Earwig

Earwigs

Color: ranging from light red-brown to black and are easily recognized by their pincers on the end of the abdomen

Size: 1/2 to 3/4 inch

Feeding & Habits: The name earwig is derived from a European superstition that these insects enter the ears of a sleeping person and bore into the brain. This belief is totally unfounded. They are rapid runners and feed on mosses, lichens, algae, fungi, insects, spiders and mites, both dead and alive. Some earwigs are predators, feeding on aphids and others feed on living plants, becoming pests in greenhouses and on certain crops such as vegetables, fruits, ornamentals, forages and field plants.
