TODAY'S FACT IS
Did you know that the European Earwig (Forficula auricularia) is an omnivorous scavenger? The wings unfurled look like human ears, giving the group their name. Both the male and the female earwig will participate in or start a complex mating ritual involving their cerci (the pincer-like prongs on their abdomen). These cerci are only ever used for courtship and defence and not to hold their mates in place.

European earwigs eat eachother if there is too many in one container they're so smarttt i love them ^_^
Thats a common earwig, by the form of the forceps you can tell that its a female. Females actively take care of their young and may be eaten by them so uh, extreme moms i say

◇ Forficula Auricularia ◇
Among the circles I have been within, I've found Earwigs to be a relatively under-appreciated insect. Though frequently in the position of a pest, Forficulidae are relatively harmless and occasionally beneficial. Beyond being the hunters of different crop pests, Earwigs harbor a fascinating ability. They've a unique set of wings that unfurl to a size that is ten-fold their starting scale; in a manner often compared to origami. An unassuming and overlooked insect with a shimmering set of intricate wings. This particular fella is a Common or European Earwig.
Not wholly confident in this attempt to draw an iridescent effect in my style, but I think it is serviceable.
