I have never seen them in my yard or on my other flowers, but I have seen them on my dahlias. Not too many, maybe (2) a plant all season. I just walk around when I am watering and carry a little container of soapy water and just knock them off into it. They hide deep in the petals so they are hard to see, but they do very little damage so it is not a concern of mine. A few shakes of the flower heads and they are gone for about 2-3 weeks.

Don't let them frazzle you : )

Thank you Kerianne! I guess since i fear those bugs more than any other bug in our area, i envisioned swarms of them! Ill keep my tubers then, and will probably buy more!

You can use Sluggo-Plus to do them in- make sure it is damp or they won't eat it. Just sprinkle it sparcely around the garden & wet it down once in awhile with the hose. It's not cheap but you don't need much to get them. The bonus is it gets the slugs, too & is classed as Organic-- & it works!!!
Earwigs love dahlias- esp. the white & yellow ones & can turn your blooms into lace overnight. I used to have a garden with 75 waterlily-form dahlias in it- loved them. One year I didn't get a single bloom that wasn't ruined off of that garden! Gahhhh!!!! I hate earwigs, too!!!
