Are you sure the earwigs are eating the petals? I have never observed them
doing this personally. Not that I am an expert on the subject. I have
earwigs all over and never seen damage. Maybe my herd is different though.
I know they like the rotting stuff so I think of them as a beneficial in
that regard. I don't like them crawling on me though! :)
