Timomenus komarowi, also known as Timomenus komarovi, is a species of earwig in the family Forficulidae.[1]
Description
Males of T. komarowi are 24.5–26.5 mm long with forceps 10.0–11.5 mm long. Females are 15.0–17.0 mm with forceps 5.5–7.5 mm.[2]
Range
This species is found in Asia.[3]
Locomotion
The methods by which T. komarowi moves on both rough and smooth surfaces have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy.[4] It attaches to rough surfaces using the pretarsal claws on its legs, and attaches to smooth surfaces using two groups of hairy tarsal pads.[4]
