Abstract:

Earwigs, as common predatory arthropods in corn fields, play a certain role in pest control. Studying the distribution and population dynamics of earwigs in corn fields is of significant reference value for maintaining ecological balance and optimizing pest management strategies. This study was conducted at the Henan Modern Agricultural Research and Development Base in Yuanyang County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, where a five-year systematic monitoring program was carried out in corn fields. By regularly trapping earwigs using various methods, a dataset on earwig resources in corn fields in northern Henan Province was constructed. The dataset was developed using standardized sampling methods, ensuring data continuity. It records information such as species composition and population fluctuations of earwigs, providing a preliminary overview of the current status of earwig resources in local corn fields and offering guidance for the formulation of pest control strategies.
