érccsomók
Érccsomók, also known as "earwigs," are insects belonging to the order Dermaptera. They are characterized by their elongated, segmented bodies, which resemble a cockroach, and their distinctive pair of forceps-like cerci at the end of their abdomen. These cerci are used for defense and communication, as érccsomók can release a foul-smelling substance when threatened. The name "érccsomók" translates to "ear worms" in English, a name that reflects their habit of burrowing into the soil and feeding on plant roots, as well as their tendency to enter homes and buildings, where they can be a nuisance.
Érccsomók are found worldwide, with over 2,000 species described. They are most active during the warmer months
Érccsomók are often confused with cockroaches due to their similar appearance, but they can be distinguished
