About Striped
These striped earwigs (Forficula auricularia) are small, slender insects with dark bodies and distinctive yellowish stripes along their backs. They can cause minor damage by chewing on tender plants and occasionally invade homes in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, seeking shelter during colder months. While generally more of a nuisance than a serious threat, controlling moisture and sealing entry points can help manage their presence.
