Fun earwig fact: the largest earwig in the world was the Saint Helena Island earwig. Almost all earwigs are maybe an inch long maximum, but these freaks of nature could grow over 3 inches long. Although they haven’t been spotted since 1967 and were declared extinct in 2014, I personally like to still believe they’re on that island somewhere… And yes, they were also excellent parents.

Nice video! Here in my country (Brazil), we call them "tesourinhas," which literally means "little scissors" and they are everywhere here.

Fun earwig fact: incredibly underrated order ♥️ Actual fact: they are very similar to the non-insect hexapod group called Diplura

For sure can be easy to mix em up! The Japygidae and Dermapterans are convergent evolution at its finest

In regard of pinchers, Japyx come pretty close to earwigs.
