How long do Earwigs live?

Answer 1

Researchers have estimated that the potential life-span of earthworms (Lumbricids) under field conditions is 4-8 years. Under laboratory conditions the black headed worm (Aporrectodea longa) has been kept for over 10 years, the brandling/tiger worm (Eisenia fetida) for 4.5 years and the lobworm/nightcrawler (Lumbricus terrestris) for 6 years (Korschelt, 1914). But for commercial purpose we consider only the life cycle i.e., the period of time taken for hatching egg to adult stage. It varies depending upon the species from 45 to 75 days.

That was the original text and it is copletely wrong. Earwigs live for about a year, and the DO NOT live inside of peoples ears. They are called earwigs because the English people thought that they lived in peoples ears and ate their brain. (BTW, calling people "cracker jacks" just proves that you are an idiot trolling on the internet)
