Default How hot is too hot? Dry? Bugs?

I'd really like to have some of my orchids outside this Summer, but I'm scared! I live in the Central Valley of CA. Our summers are HOT, I'm talking we'll go weeks and never drop below 90 with multiple days over 100. Summers are also incredibly dry. Would shade cloth and a mister sytem be OK?

Another issue is bugs, specifically earwigs they are just disgusting. But, will they harm orchids and what would you suggest for keeping them away? The little buggers get into anything. I've got hanging fucshia baskets which aren't close to anything, and they even manage to get in there.

Thanks!
