Okay, whoa. "Some people think that earwigs use their pincers to pinch. Physically, this is possible, but they can’t exert enough pressure to result in much of anything.".
This is false! When I lived on the farm, my "room" was an old converted schoolbus. One summer after pulling on a shirt from the closet, there was a horribly painful pinching on my belly. I shook out my shirt, to no avail. Panicking, I reached up to brush at the spot and felt something which wouldn't be brushed away! Lifted up my shirt and there, with a tenacious grip on my abs, was a nasty earwig! It *would not* let go, and I had to actually grab the lil sumb*tch and PULL it off me! Kayh is right!
