#viral #video #wildlife #fact #life #unknown #subscribe #spectacular Earwigs are small insects that belong to the order Dermaptera. They are found all over the world, but are most commonly found in temperate climates.
Earwigs are known for their distinctive pincers, which are used for defense and for capturing prey. Despite their name, earwigs do not crawl into people's ears or lay eggs in the human body.
There are over 2,000 different species of earwig, ranging in size from just a few millimeters to over 8 centimeters in length. The largest species, the St. Helena giant earwig, is found on the island of St. Helena and can grow up to 8 centimeters long.
Earwigs are omnivorous and feed on a variety of foods, including insects, plants, and decaying organic matter. They are also known to be cannibalistic, and will eat other earwigs if food is scarce.
Earwigs are nocturnal and are most active at night. During the day, they hide in dark, damp places such as under rocks or in tree bark.
