[QUOTE="PBK, post: 8176, member: 127"] (Earwigs are fairly abundant and found in many areas of the world. There is no evidence that they transmit diseases to humans or other animals. Their pincers are commonly believed to be dangerous, but cause little harm to humans.[44] It is a common urban legend that earwigs crawl into the human ear and lay eggs in the brain.[45][46] Finding earwigs in the human ear is rare, as most species do not fly and prefer dark and damp areas (e.g., basements) rather than typical bedrooms.[3] There is a debate whether earwigs are either harmful or beneficial to crops, as they eat both the insects eating the foliage (e.g., aphids) and the foliage itself, though it would take a large population to do considerable damage. The common earwig eats a wide variety of plants, and also a wide variety of foliage including the leaves and petals. They have been known to cause economic losses in fruit and vegetable crops. Some examples are the flowers, hops, and corn crops in Germany, and in the south of France it has been observed feeding on peaches and apricots. The earwigs would attack mature plants and make cup-shaped bite marks 3–11 mm (0.12–0.43 in) in diameter.[47]) I've herd that they crawl in the ear but now i know the truth.learn something new everyday [/QUOTE]
