The earwig has a pair of horny forceps-like tail filaments, or pincers (cerci), at the posterior end of the abdomen, with those of the male being larger and of a different shape than those of the female. It has been suggested that the pincers may function in defense, in catching insects and holding them while eating, in helping to fold the hindwings under the forewings, or during courtship fights for possession of a female. When alarmed or aggressive the earwig carries the cerci over its body in a scorpion-like manner. In some species, earwig females exhibit maternal care, defending and feeding the newly hatched immatures.

Both these kittens are adorable. Can you tell if the cat is male or female? I cannot.
One of the first questions the rescue is often asked is whether the cat/kitten is male or female and many are adamant it must be one or the other. So, are male and female cats very different or does it come down to individual personality?
SHOULD I GET A MALE OR FEMALE CAT?
From Hill’s Pets: Differences Between Male and Female Cats.
The truth is that the sex of the cat really doesn’t matter when it comes to choosing the purrfect pet for you. Although there are some behavioral differences between male and female cats as they grow from kittens to adults, a cat’s genetics and environment play a bigger role in how well the two of you will bond. So take the time to meet a few cats and pick the one that you think will be your best friend. Male and female cat differences should only play a small role in choosing a cat.
People often ask us how to tell if an ant is male or female. Here’s how to do it. Pick up your ant and drop it in a glass of water. If it sinks, it’s a girl ant. However, if it floats, it’s buoyant.
We have a really special group of Goldens coming into our care. These Goldens and Golden Doodles are retired breeding dogs that a commercial breeder was looking to retire. Our volunteers will be picking up these dogs and they will be arriving soon. Our rescue is looking for adopters who can give these girls and boys a wonderful new life. They need a home with a lot of patience, compassion, and understanding. These new homes MUST have a fenced yard and another dog that will help in teaching this new family member how it is to be a loved family member. It is very rewarding to adopt one of these special dogs, but they do require a dedicated adopter(s). These retired breeders have had sad lives without the care and love that we feel all dogs are entitled to have.
Shy and surprisingly difficult to find in mixed and conifer woodland, where it runs quickly from detected disturbance. Red-and-gold male stunning and unmistakable. Female differs from Common Pheasant in strongly barred plumage, dull pinkish (not gray) legs and feet and from Lady Amherst’s Pheasant in lighter barring, more orangeish coloration, and the lack of a bare patch of gray skin behind the eye. Native to China but introduced very locally in Britain and Hawaii; however, captive birds might escape anywhere.
