About

Earwigs can eat live plants and can do damage to crops.

Female earwigs produce 20-60 eggs laid in burrows 3 to 4 centimetres under soil surface. Most species have one generation a year, over-wintering in the soil. Both adults and the young require moisture to live. Earwigs feed mostly at night, scavenging on dead insects, live and decomposing plant materials. Some earwig species are attracted to lights. In daylight earwigs will seek shelter under organic matter such as mulch, pea straw, leaf litter, and other debris. Earwigs prefer dark and damp areas.

Did you know
