A newly discovered species of earwig, estimated to be about 55 million years old, has been found in Denmark. The ancient insect, named Apachyus madseni, lived during the Early Eocene epoch and measured nearly 1.9 cm (0.75 inches) long. Apachyus madseni belongs to the genus Apachyus within the family Apachyidae, which is part of the order Dermaptera (commonly known as earwigs). Today, species from this family are mainly found in central and southern Africa, India, Southeast Asia, and Australia. Modern earwigs are known for their flat bodies and bright colouring.
