#Earwigs make up the insect order Dermaptera. With about 2,000 species[1] in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have characteristic cerci, a pair of forceps-like pincers on their abdomen, and membranous

📢 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?

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.

I've been joking with my loved one a lot about #earwigs lately, making up stuff about their evolution and what they do in ears. They became a topic, after our garage door controller became home to one.
It makes sense that I would be struck down by some terrible inner ear thing for the last couple days, like a Star Trek Wrath of Khan level earwigs took up residence in my head.
All is resolved. Sorry for maligning earwigs. They have nothing to do with ears! Q-tips are far more dangerous.

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...
