EDITORS COMMENTS
Forficula auricularia, commonly known as the common earwig or European earwig, is an intriguing and often misunderstood invertebrate belonging to the Dermaptera order, or earwigs. Measuring between 8-18mm in length, this hexapod species is characterized by its distinctive elongated cerci, or forceps-like appendages, located at the end of its abdomen. Earwigs are scavenging insects that inhabit damp crevices in various environments, including houses, gardens, and woodland. They are nocturnal creatures, emerging at night to feed on a diverse diet of decaying plant material, dead insects, and occasionally living prey. Contrary to popular myth, earwigs do not crawl into human ears to burrow in the brain. The common earwig is a fascinating member of the Hexapoda class, which also includes other invertebrates such as spiders, mites, and millipedes. Its elongated cerci are used for defense and communication, and it is believed that they may also play a role in mating. Despite their sometimes unsettling appearance, earwigs play an essential role in the ecosystem as decomposers and predators. They are often preyed upon by larger insects, such as ladybirds and ground beetles, and lobsters have been known to feed on them in their freshwater habitats. This image showcases the unique features and intricate details of the common earwig, offering a glimpse into the diverse and fascinating world of invertebrates. The earwig's elongated cerci are clearly visible in this close-up view, adding to its allure and mystery. As we continue to explore the natural world around us, let us appreciate the beauty and importance of even the smallest and most misunderstood creatures, such as the common earwig.
