  ORTHOPTERA - LoveToKnow Article on ORTHOPTERA
Kirby (1815) founded an order Dermaptera for the earwigs, which had formed part of de Geers Dermaptera, accepting Oliviers term Orthoptera for the rest of the assemblage, and as modern research has shown that the earwigs undoubtedly deserve original separation from the cockroaches, grasshoppers, crickets, andc., this terminology will probably become established.
In the present article a short account of the characters of the Dermaptera and Orthoptera is given, while for details the reader is referred to special articles on the more interesting families or groups.
the Dermaptera and agree with the vast majority of winged insects are the absence of distinct maxillulae and the presence of an unpaired ectodermal tube as the terminal region of the genital system in both sexes.

 Earwigs
Earwigs are rather cryptic, small to medium sized insects distinguished from other insects by a pair of forcep or pincer-like cerci at the end of the abdomen.
The name Dermaptera refers to the thickened leathery forewings and is derived from Greek with "derma" meaning skin and "ptera" meaning wings.
There are different ideas as to where the English name 'earwig' comes from, including the mistaken belief that earwigs have a tendency to crawl into a sleeping person's ear, or because the hind wings resemble in shape the human ear.

They could be mistaken for some diplurans which also have pincers but diplurans are eyeless whereas earwigs have large prominent compound eyes.
In winged species of earwigs, the hind pair of wings is membranous (Dermaptera = 'skin-winged') and folded under the forewings which are short, leathery and not used for flight.
Earwigs are mainly nocturnal and by day live in secluded places such as under rocks, in leaf litter and under bark.
