Let’s set the record straight: earwigs are not trying to crawl into your ears.
Despite their creepy-crawly reputation and those intimidating pincers, earwigs are harmless to humans. In fact, they're fascinating little insects that play a valuable role in your garden. These nighttime foragers feast on decaying plants and even other pests like aphids and mites, making them unexpected garden helpers.
Their pincers? They're mostly for defense and mating rituals—not for attacking people. So next time you spot one, resist the urge to squish. Earwigs are weirdly wonderful, and they’re doing more good than you might think.
