Earwigs eat live or decaying vegetation and, in some cases, depending on the species, other insects. The plants most affected by earwigs are tender plants like lettuce, strawberries, dahlias, marigolds, zinnias and roses. They also are also notorious for eating holes in buds and blooms of Clematis. In greenhouses, they will feed on crops such as vegetables, fruits, and ornamentals. Outside they will feed on anything including forages and field plants.
