Earwigs are nocturnal, they often hide in small, moist crevices during the day, and are active at night, feeding on a wide variety of insects and plants. Earwigs are mostly scavengers, but some are omnivorous or predatory.
Earwigs are generally nocturnal, and typically hide in small, dark, and often moist areas in the daytime.Earwigs are fairly abundant and found in many areas of the world. earwigs don't really crawl into ears or hide in wigs. But they do like dark and damp corners. At night they come out to feed on flower petals, one of their favourite foods.The earwigs attacked mature plants and made cup-shaped bite marks

The creature has nothing to do with our ears and the wigs but why it has been named "EARWIG" shows the grave fault on the part of humans. It is not good to teach small children teasing the poor fellow by name "earwig"!

Those bugs always hid in the holes of the swing my parents put up. I always made sure to check before getting on the swing because I was terrified of them.

Karen, Geeta: I do agree with you two. And, that turned to be a fault on our part as I mentioned earlier. But, sorrowfully, we never tried to rectify it and have always tried to tease the poor creature with the odd name, haven't we?
What about insects' rights, after human rights and animals' rights? :)
