Earwig

Color: Adults are reddish-brown to black, young Earwigs are a lighter greenish or whitish color.

Length: 3/8″ to 1″

Earwigs were named by a superstition that the insect would crawl purposely into the ears of sleeping people. More easily recognized by its forceps-like tail appendage, the earwig is a major garden pest, as well as an annoying household pest. It is one of the few insects that take care of its young. Earwigs feed on green plants, and other vegetation, and do little damage indoors. The pinch of their forceps is neither painful nor poisonous, but does an effective “scare” job.
