What does an earwig bite look like?

Answer 1

An earwig is a reddish-brown to black colored bug between 6 and 35 mm long, somewhat flattened in shape with 2 (harmless) pincers coming off its back end. They are attracted to dampness, like piles of leaves, etc. They can also be found indoors where there may be dampness, like in basements. They are ugly, somewhat unnerving to see crawling around you but are harmless to humans.

Answer 2

Earwig bites typically result in small, red bumps with some minor swelling and pain. The bites may also cause itchiness or mild irritation. It's important to keep the bite area clean to prevent infection.
