Earwig (Forficulidae)

Thanks so much for your answer - is that the Latin for little scissors?

The latin word is forfex - meaning a pair of scissors or pincers

Question Author

Thanks so much!!!

Correction to kettledrum: forficulida is the Latin DIMINUTIVE of forfex which is the Latin word for scissors.

Thank you quizmonkey - I stand corrected.

Quizmonkey, I've just got out my very ancient latin dictionary and it appears that the diminutive of forfex is forficula. Would you agree?
