I believe earwigs came from Europe. They were brought here by someone to help control an aphid problem that kept consuming vegetation and plants, causing the to rot out. now since the earwigs have no natural enemy in Northern America, there constantly multiplying and becoming a real nuisance. The myth that they will crawl in your ear at night and lay eggs, is exactly that, a myth. That is actually how they got their name, and therefor named themēare(ear) wicga(insects) or earwig.
