jim3rg Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) I found a few earwigs around the plants, I typically have my 2 VFT plants and my pitcher seeds in pots on the windowsil. I was wondering if these can do any damage to the plants, I think I am correct in thinking they can attack plants. It was only 2 actually and I have searched the area but cannot find a gathering of any kind. Thanks folks Edited July 14, 2015 by jim3rg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FredG Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 (edited) Were they a pair? They're easy to sex. The only damage I've had on plants due to earwigs was on flower petals. They like soft material to chew, probably more dangerous to any decaying plant material lying around Edited July 14, 2015 by FredG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dykotah Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 They are always in my nepenthes, usually in the leaves before they unroll. Haven't seen any damage to my plants. They usually end up being food. Sent from my HTC6500LVW using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
