Forficula is a genus of earwigs in the family Forficulidae; it was first described in 1758 by Swedish biologist Carl Linnaeus in the 10th edition of Systema Naturae. The name Forficula is Latin for earwig, formerly small pinchers.[1] The genus spans all continents except Antarctica and is native to Afro-Eurasia, primarily Europe.[1] The best known species is Forficula auricularia and is a common household pest.
