Earwigs
For most insects, maternal care is uncommon; however, with earwigs is not an option. Female earwigs usually provide warmth and protect their eggs from predators. They also clean them to prevent fungus formation and infections. During this time, mothers will go to the extent of not feeding on any other food apart from the unhatched eggs. This does not only end there, female earwigs also help their young ones shed off their shells and protects them until they reach their second stage of molting.
