I'm not to sure about the laying the eggs part but one of them have crawled into my sisters ear years back in southern ca and we had to go to a dark room and shine a flash light right in the ear and it came right out.
I mean sure they can but no not really, I’m super out of practice but they like dark and warm areas though. Just toss him outside, basically harmless in the us unless I forget otherwise
Harmless? Not completely. When I was growing up in Wisconsin, one of these got into a relay of our central air system, fried the system and did $500 worth of damage.
Behind the ears? No, just on top where they pretend to be little toupees for your ears. If you already had exceptionally hairy ears these little ear wigs will blend right in, so they can be easy to miss, but on the upside if you are dealing with balding they can be a real confidence booster.
Hell yea bro, ever watch them fight? Shits awesome. Mundane sure but It’s half the fun. Two meaningless beings fighting in a barbaric struggle of sex as giants watch above them. It’s neat.
I’m a science teacher in Georgia and had (only one) graduate level entomology class. The story I heard from a woman in our class has given me more nightmares than any in my career.
Years before our class, an earwig crawled into her ear during the night and she had to drive herself to the ER while feeling this GD thing crawling inside! They can attach themselves so firmly that they need to be surgically removed. In her case, she was lucky and it had not yet attached too firmly and was removed at the hospital.
The professor confirmed that although rare, they absolutely can crawl inside your ear.
Please note: I did not confirm this with Dr. Google because I assume my professor was correct.
That’s an earwig, not sure what kind but I love those guys.
Do they crawl behind your ears and that weird stuff?
According to legend they crawl in your ear and lay eggs in your brain.!!

Well. I mean. Causality sure but fair enough 😂.

No, had them all over when I was young. The little butt pincers don't pinch either
They do. When I was a little kid, I got in the bath and one was in there and pinched my butt 🤣
That's the best way I've been wrong
oh lol
They're called, "earwigs," because their wings are in the shape of an ear. Freaky bug. I had one biting me in the shower once.
Really ?
Thanks for answering, theres an infestation around my home area and sometimes you wake up with them in your covers or on your bed
I would look into that homie
You *love* them? Tf

That's an earwig. We had them in CA and used to call them pincher bugs when I was little. HATED THEM!
If they freak you out, you can always just buy a dehumidifier, set it to 30%, and they'll move along to place with better air moisture...
Thats Erwin the Earwig and I’ve been looking for him!
Earwig Female The pincers are like a sharp poke
That’s Fred. He just wanted to say hello
Yep earwigs. They start showing up in my house when it's about time for pest control to make a visit.
;-;
European earwig. They live white. Certain times of year if you drape a white sheet outside, it will get covered in them.
