Pincer-ed bugs, also known as earwigs, are small insects that have a pair of pincers at the end of their abdomen. Earwigs are found in many parts of the world and are considered a nuisance pest due to their habit of feeding on plants and other organic matter. They can also be a nuisance indoors, where they may hide in dark, damp places such as bathrooms and basements. Earwigs are generally harmless to humans, but their pincers can cause a mild pinch if handled carelessly.
