Earwigs are found throughout the Americas, Africa, Eurasia, Australia and New Zealand. With about 2,000 species in 12 families, they are one of the smaller insect orders. Earwigs have a characteristic pair of forceps pincers on their abdomen, and wings folded underneath short forewings know as "skin wings." Earwigs rarely use their ability to fly.
