Doru albepes (Forficulidae: Forficulinae)
Earwigs are small insects that have a distinctive feature: a pincer(cerci). They look evil but they dont do any harm to humans. They eat rotting plants and plant stems but other species like this one eats smaller insects.
Lives in dark areas such as under logs, and rocks
I found this earwig under a rock, then I fed the stink bug nymphs. This species of earwig is hard to identify according to this website https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2009/12/20/... where I found a similar species. Though I was skeptical, I used the name European Earwig instead since it belongs to thesame family: Forficulidae.
