Earwigs:dark mahogany brown, elongated body shape (like a salamander or
scorpion), about 3/4 inch long, pincher like "tail". Will sometimes nest
in pockets of outer leaves. Eat aphids, flower petals, and will chew on
rhizome inside leaves, where tender.

What do earwigs look like? I have some very small with bugs on my Iris that
I have
never seen before & need to know what to use on them. They are very tiny &
are down
in the fan where the stalks come up & clime the stalks, invading blooms.
Thank you ahead of time for any help.
