''Labidura riparia'' is a species of earwig in the family Labiduridae characterized by their modified cerci as forceps, and light tan color.Tawfik, M., Abul-Nar, S., and El-hussein, M. 1973. The biology of ''Labidura riparia'' Pallas. Bulletin of the Entomological Society of Egypt 76, 75-92. They are commonly known as the shore earwig, tawny earwig, riparian earwig, or the striped earwig due to two dark longitudinal stripes down the length of the pronotum. They are sometimes wrongly referred to as ''Labidura japonica'', although said species is actually a subspecies, ''Labidura riparia japonica'', found only in Japan.Kimimura, Y. 2014 Pre- and postcopulatory sexual selection and the evolution of sexually dimorphic traits in earwigs.

Saint Helena Earwig
The Saint Helena earwig or Saint Helena giant earwig (''Labidura herculeana'') is an extinct species of very large earwig endemism, endemic to the oceanic island of Saint Helena in the south Atlantic Ocean. Description Growing as large as long (including forceps), the Saint Helena earwig was the world's largest earwig. It was shiny black with reddish legs, short elytron, elytra and no hind wings. Distribution and ecology The earwig was endemic to Saint Helena, being found on the Horse Point Plain, Prosperous Bay Plain, and the Eastern Arid Area of the island. It was known to have lived in plain areas, Commidendrum, gumwood forests and seabird colony, seabird colonies in rocky places. The earwig inhabited deep burrows, coming out only at night following rain. Dave Clark of the London Zoo said that "the females make extremely good mothers". Known from subfossils remains, Saint Helena hoopoe, Saint Helena giant hoopoe could have been a predator of this earwig. History The Saint ...

List Of Largest Insects
Insects, which are a type of arthropod, are the most numerous group of multicellular organisms on the planet, with over a million species identified so far. The title of heaviest insect in the world has many contenders, the most frequently crowned of which is the larval stage of the goliath beetle, '' Goliathus goliatus'', the maximum size of which is at least and . The highest confirmed weight of an adult insect is for a giant weta, ''Deinacrida heteracantha'', although it is likely one of the elephant beetles, '' Megasoma elephas'' and ''Megasoma actaeon'', or goliath beetles, both of which can commonly exceed and , can reach a greater weight. The longest insects are the stick insects, see below. Representatives of the extinct dragonfly-like order Meganisoptera (also known as griffinflies) such as the Carboniferous ''Meganeura monyi'' and the Permian ''Meganeuropsis permiana'' are the largest insect species ever known. These creatures had a wingspan of some . Their maxim ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Labiduridae
Labiduridae, whose members are known commonly as striped earwigs, is a relatively large family of earwigs in the suborder Forficulina.See first entry in external links section for reference. Taxonomy The family contains a total of approximately 72 species, spread across seven genera in three subfamilies. Some well-known members of the family include ''Labidura riparia'', commonly known as the tawny earwig, and '' Gonolabidura meteor''. The family is mostly cosmopolitan, so it can be found around the world. At least two species have been described from middle Cretaceous aged Burmese amber, '' Myrrholabia'' and '' Zigrasolabis''. Description The family's members are moderate to large earwigs, and are cylindrically shaped with well-developed wings. They have especially long antennae, while some segments can be shorter, and large cerci. Genera The family contains the following genera: * Subfamily Allostethinae Verhoeff, 1904 ** '' Allostethella'' Zacher, 1910 ** '' Allostethu ...
