Earwigs, the insects, belong to the order Dermaptera and are widely distributed worldwide. They are easily recognizable by their characteristic pincers on the abdomen. Earwigs feed on other insects such as aphids and mites. This helps to control pests in gardens and agricultural areas. They also feed on dead plant parts and organic material, contributing to decomposition and nutrient recycling in the soil. But there are also many fakes and myths about earwigs.
