What does an earwig eat?

Answer 1

Earwigs are insects from 5 to 31 mm in length. They are flattened and can crawl through extremely small cracks. All earwigs have a pair of hardened abdominal appendages which protrude backwards as a tail.

Earwigs feed on both dead and living insects, mosses, lichens, algae, fungi and occasionally growing plants. Indoors, they eat house plants or sweet, oily or greasy foods.

At night, these insects forage for food and seek new shelter areas. They are attracted to lights.

Earwigs prefer high moisture. During the winter they can dig into the ground as deep as 6 feet to escape freezing temperatures.

Earwigs get their name from a false European superstition. According to legend these tiny bugs would crawl into the ears of sleeping people and bore into their brains. In reality earwigs rarely bite and are for the most part harmless

AnswerAs an exterminator of almost 30 years I have seen several cases of bugs in ears. To say that an earwig categorically does not go into the ear is a bit presumptive. It is possible and it has happened, however the legend of earwigs entering your ear to lay eggs or bore into your brain is false.
