Earwig (Forficula auricularia) artwork. Earwigs are predatory nocturnal
Earwig (Forficula auricularia) artwork. Earwigs are predatory nocturnal insects that generally hide under stones and in crevices during the day. The superstition that earwigs seek out human ears and bite through the eardrum has no basis in fact. The earwigs head, with its long antennae, is at upper centre. Its pair of short wings (centre) are folded down, as it very rarely fly. It is an omnivore, but will eat flowers as well as other insects and carrion. The pincers (lower centre) are used for defence purposes, and are raised over the head when attacked

EDITORS COMMENTS
This artwork showcases the intricate details of an Earwig (Forficula auricularia), a fascinating nocturnal insect. The print captures the essence of this predatory creature, dispelling common myths and shedding light on its true nature. Contrary to popular belief, earwigs do not seek out human ears nor cause any harm to them. The composition focuses on the head of the earwig, prominently displaying its long antennae that aid in sensory perception. Positioned at the upper center, it draws attention to this remarkable feature. Its folded wings rest at the center, highlighting their short length and emphasizing that flying is a rarity for these creatures. An omnivore by nature, this particular earwig species feeds on various sources such as flowers, insects, and carrion. This versatile diet adds to its survival skills in different environments. The lower center features its distinct pincers which serve as defensive tools against potential threats. When attacked or threatened, they are raised over its head in a protective stance. Rendered with watercolors and precision illustration techniques, this art piece brings forth both scientific accuracy and aesthetic appeal. It celebrates the wonders of nature while educating viewers about these often misunderstood invertebrates. This print from Science Photo Library beautifully combines elements of nature photography with artistic expression to create an engaging visual experience for enthusiasts of wildlife and zoology alike.
