Yes Earwigs are the exact same thing as Pincher bugs.

The Earwigs get their name Pincher bugs because they have the ability to pinch people or other prey that may try to attack or eat them.

They basically have a built in natural tool that can pinch your skin and cause a lot of pain so I would avoid them.

Do not touch the Pincher bug but if you do have to touch a Pincher bug or want to pick one up make sure you wear good thick gloves.

I was once pinched by a Pincher bug when I was 5 years old and my dad told me not to touch it.

I didn't listen and touched it and it pinched me and made me cry.

I wasn't bleeding but that stopped me from picking them up ever again.
