Earwig

Dark, moist environments such as under rocks, logs, mulch, and inside crevices or damp areas within buildings.

Omnivorous; they consume decaying plant matter, smaller insects (like aphids), and occasionally flowers or soft vegetation.

Nocturnal insects that use their characteristic pincers (cerci) for defense and grooming; they are also known for maternal care of eggs and nymphs.

Generally harmless to humans; they can pinch with their cerci but are not venomous. They benefit the ecosystem by eating garden pests like aphids, though they can occasionally damage crops if populations are high.
