Picture
Earwigs -  received their name from the myth that they would crawl into a sleeping person’s ear and tunnel into their brain. The earwig is easily identified by the clippers on their backside.  Earwigs are dark brown, with six legs and their shape is narrow; they are 1 inch long with an antenna, but cannot fly. Earwigs hide during the day and feed on flowers, fruits, leaves, mold and other insects at night.
Earwigs live outdoors in large numbers.  They can be found under piles of mulch, in tree holes or under lawn debris. They gain access to a structure through exterior cracks. Contrary to the myth, earwigs do not crawl and eat people’s brains at night; they do not spread disease.
