Earwigs
Earwigs are creepy looking creatures. The have pincers that protrude from their abdomen and long segmented antennae. The name "earwig" is a very old name derived from the belief that they crawled into the ears of sleeping people and would eat their brains. We know today that this is not true. We also know that they look slimy and tend to show up in places that we really do not want them, including in our home where we sleep! Most of the time, earwigs feed on decaying vegetation however, some will feast on living things such as other arthropods.
