Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera.With about 2,000 species [1] in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forceps-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous wings folded underneath short, rarely used forewings, hence the scientific order name, "skin wings".
The earwigs will mate soon after they reach adulthood, and after a period of approximately eleven days, the eggs are laid. [7] Ringlegged earwigs generally complete two to three generations per year, or one for spring and one for autumn, and a single generation can be completed in 61 days. [6]
European earwigs overwinter about 5 mm (0.2 in) below the surface of the ground. The female earwig lays a clutch of about 50 eggs in an underground nest in the autumn. She enters a dormant state and stays in the nest with the eggs. Common earwigs exhibit varying levels of maternal care.
