Something has been eating, roots, sheaths and BUDS! (Can you hear me screaming?!) So I went out to the greenhouse last night with a flash light and there they were, those ugly
| EARWIGS

Thanx!

OrchidTess,
I have found earwigs on a cymbidium plant recently also. Someone on here mentioned a tuna sized can with beer in it. I wonder if that would be enough to distract them from our orchids?

That would have been me. I used to use this trick all the time when I was a rose grower. I hate the little things. Don't use good beer though. Save the good beer for the exterminator, use the cheap beer on the bugs.

Oh I hate them!
I hate earwigs too 
It's those darn pincer on their butts!
and why do they call them earwigs?
Do they live in wigs and end up crawling into your ear
only to use that tiny hiney ice pick to burrow into your brain?
