If you have a problem with an unidentified insect eating your vegetable plants, it may be a good idea to do a little investigation. Every morning, upon examining my garden, I noticed large holes in the leaves of my Japanese eggplant and my basil. So, I took a flashlight and went out there after dark to find the mysterious predator. As you can see, these earwigs were not too hard to find and didn't seem concerned that their midnight meal was being watched under a spotlight. They just calmly kept munching on the tasty eggplant leaves, making large holes, and destroying the plant. Now, multiple sources have told me that earwigs do not eat green plants. Hmmm... I think they're wrong.
