puzzle,

People who respond to questions like to know if their answer has been of assistance. Unless you tell them, they never know. There is no need to write – if you just click on the ‘Thank you’ button at the bottom of their post.

I didn't know what is an earwig! And I didn't know that that was a joke! I thought earwig is somebody's name and I forgot to add that earwiggo is a word play with his/her name!

I looked it up on google images just minutes ago. It was disgusting! We call it "Aabdozdak" (water thief) in Iran, I am happy I don't see it anymore since we moved to the Capital.
