Happy 10th birthday, Earwig Rising! May the Earwig Overlords conquer us gently!

📢 New paper out in Ecotoxicology! 🪲🌿
We tested whether a common glyphosate-based weed killer harms European earwigs.
🧪 Despite exposure to high doses, we found no major effects on maternal care, development, or immunity.
This surprising resilience raises new questions: Why are earwigs so tolerant to chemical pollution?

🐜 The amorous adventures of earwigs

Latest earwig assaults -- my pillowcase, inside the pantry cupboard staring arrogantly as I reached for something, and between the glass and the cover of my spouse's ipad. That one set off an alarm on the ipad leading to its discovery. Very tired of them. Spiders and lizards are not doing their work. #earwigs #insects

Now, to earwigs, which seemingly have more vibrant social lives than we do (though based on this @KnowableMag story, we’ll stick with what we’ve got). Tim Vernimmen writes about their 20-hour mating rituals, peculiar penises, protective parenting, and occasional cannibalism.

Has your rural-type mailbox become home to dozens of earwigs? No, really, it's a thing. I didn't know that when I got the mail last time and dozens of the little buggers were swarming inside the box. Things one can use to get rid of them include: boric acid powder & dryer sheets, as well as peppermint, cinnamon, eucalyptus and basil scents.

#Earwigs and #woodlice as some of the world's smallest internal #SeedDispersal agents: Insights from the #ecology of Monotropastrum humile (Ericaceae) https://nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ppp3.10519
"the #woodlouse is the smallest animal yet known to disperse seeds by eating them. It and other small #invertebrates play underappreciated roles in spreading #plants far and wide."

On my way back from Bayreuth, Germany. It was fantastic to meet all these promising @dzgevol PhD students and discuss their projects. I had a blast! It was also fantastic to visit @SteigerLab. I look forward to future collaborations on family life evolution in #earwigs and #beetles!
But for the moment, it's a train journey of 10h30 that awaits me. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the many connections...

I am delighted to share this new paper with you. In this issue of the Annual Review of Entomology you'll find all you need to know about the "Biology and Social Life of #Earwigs"... and its #openaccess

#BandcampFriday is coming, and it's also Earwig Month, when we celebrate Wiggy the Giant Earwig and his destruction of Earth!

today was a #bugs and birds day in the garden! i've been taking part in the #bigbutterflycount so it was great to see three species today - a red admiral, meadow brown, and a large white butterfly (which flew too quickly to get a decent picture of!) i also spotted a #forficula #earwig and a load of #bumblebees enjoying the clovers in the sun ☀️

Here's how I'm spending a big chunk of my three-day weekend: reading old publications about #earwigs!
This drawing is from Malcolm Burr's 1910 "The Fauna of British India, Including Ceylon and Burma: #Dermaptera".
Reading old publications on natural history is one of the great joys of my life.

Earwig moms remind me of fierce dragons, guarding their eggs in secret lairs under the earth.
But with butt forceps instead of fire.

📢 Have you ever wondered whether #pathogens can shape the #evolution of #social life in #insects? Yes? Great, we are opening a #PhDposition to address this question!
If you are interested in #behavioural ecology, #socialimmunity and #socialnetworks (and #earwigs, of course), then this PhD position is for you! 👏
📆 Application deadline: 27 March 2023.

TIL that earwigs can fly. Though they mostly don't bother flying, it's a little embarrassing as someone with two biology degrees not to have known this 😳
(HT @aegilops)
They have shimmering, foldable wings that they hide away under their stiff forewings, like beetles do. Their wing deployment reminds me of an unfurling solar sail.

CW: Insect that unfairly gives lots of people the willies, but it shouldn't because they are cool and nice.
Earwigs, folks. No other insect has worse PR than earwigs. This guy doesn't want anything to do with your human ears. He wants to hang out in the soil and eat and be left alone.
