I haven't seen any earwigs.The geraniums in question are in a bed about 6ft long so it would take quote a lot of earwigs to do so much damage....

Re: Eating geraniums
On further carful examination of the geraniums we found a large green caterpillar and a quantity of caterpillar poo so it is looking like the problem could be Budworm
.We put the creature in a jam jar and my neighbour has taken it down the road to the garden center for identification.
