Are the Earwigs doing any damage to the plants? With numbers this high it probably doesn't matter but they aren't always damaging to the plants.

I had earwigs eating one of my young passionfruit plants, that much that they killed it. Now i have ants eating the other passionfruit plant. Bugs must really like them, but we like the fruit more.

Also spotted some earwigs last night munching on some silverbeet.

Really I remind you of this guys?? :laughing3: :laughing3: haha

Hmm maybe I can't disagree but I think I would be more empowered and it would be more like a chanting speach than a song. Haha

The insects rise I the millions against us!! The only way to beat them is to recruit an army of insects our self's!

Or we will all be slaves! IN AN INSECT NATION!!!

THIS IS NOW ONE OF MY TOP FAVORITE SONGS!
haha thanks azira

Not eating the fruit, but the plants.

First it was earwigs that stripped one plant to the bare bones. That one didnt recover.

Now it is ants that are eating through the main stems of another plant. If i can't stop them i fear that they will kill the plant and i will lose all the fruit.

Ants are a tough one only three ways to get rid of them
1. Other ants
2. Ant eaters
3. Poison
Well there is a 4. FIRE!!!! But you might not want that haha

Earwigs are not bugs they are earwigs (Dermaptera) :naughty:
Ants are not bugs they are Hymenoptera (Ants, Bees, Wasps and Sawflies) :naughty:

The bugs are the Hemiptera :thumbright:
