Italian Italy Nectar Southern Europe Blooms Dermaptera Earwig Earwigs Eats Feeds
EDITORS COMMENTS
Who knew earwigs had a sweet tooth? This Italian heartthrob, the Common Earwig (Forficula auricularia) adult male, takes his nectar fix seriously! Pictured in the picturesque landscapes of Italy during June, this European charmer knows how to enjoy the finer things in life. With its sleek and shiny body, this dapper insect is not your average garden dweller. While most people associate earwigs with mischief and fear their pincers, our friend here prefers sipping on nature's sugary delights rather than causing trouble. As he delicately perches on a vibrant flower bloom, it seems like he has found his own little paradise. With Southern Europe as his playground and an abundance of colorful flowers at his disposal, who can blame him for indulging in some fine dining? This charming scene reminds us that even insects appreciate the beauty of summer blooms. It's fascinating to witness how creatures big or small find joy in simple pleasures like feasting on nectar-filled petals. So next time you spot an earwig scuttling around your garden, remember that they too have a soft side – quite literally when it comes to devouring nectar! Let's raise our glasses (or should we say flower buds?) to this unexpected connoisseur of sweetness!
