	Earwigs, HYG-2068-94
		Earwigs are elongate, flattened insects, ranging from light red-brown to fl and are easily recognized by their forcep-like appendages (pincers) on the end of the abdomen.
		Earwig female forceps are straight-sided, whereas male forceps are strongly curved (caliper-like) and larger.
		Earwigs rarely fly and are unable to crawl long distances, but often hitchhike in laundry baskets, cut flowers, luggage, newspapers, lumber, baskets of fruits and vegetables, automobiles, etc. They prefer moisture and may migrate indoors during periods of prolonged heat and drought.

	European Earwigs - Penn State Entomology Department Fact Sheet
		Earwigs are active at night and hide during the day in cracks and crevices.
		The European earwig is found throughout much of the United States and is considered one of the most important earwigs since large numbers of them may seek shelter in homes and consequently become a notorious household pest.
		After the eggs are laid, the female European earwig gathers the eggs together in a pile and stores them in a shallow hole, over which she stands guard.

	PMRA \| Effective Control of Earwigs
		Indeed, earwigs are often beneficial in habit, acting as scavengers of decaying matter and predators of insect larvae, slug eggs, aphids, and other garden pests.
		Adult earwigs have small, leathery wings; to fly, they must take off from a high place as their wings are not strong enough to lift them from the ground.
		Since earwigs overwinter just below the soil surface and females lay their eggs in small nests, cultivating the soil can disturb the overwintering earwigs and expose newly laid eggs to the dry surface where they are less likely to survive.
