Uncharismatic Fact of the Day
Contrary to popular belief, earwigs don’t crawl into peoples’ ears to pinch them. Rather, those big pincers-- or cerci-- are used by females to protect their young from predators! Both sexes also use these appendages to fold down their wings after a flight.
(Image: A great common earwig (Forficula auricularia) mom protecting her eggs by Tom Oates)

roseate skimmer dragonfly Orthemis ferruginea sitting atop a plant growing beside a body of freshwater. dragonflies are capable of changing directions mid-flight with ease, which i think is the coolest thing!!
