Dahlia petals being cut/eaten

colinmorris57 · September 2021

This morning I noticed some of the petals on my Dahlia's have been cut or eaten. I've looked at pictures of petals eaten by earwigs that seem a bit 'ragged' but these look more like they've been cut, rather like a 'leaf-cutter' bee (or something like it), has anyone any ideas to what might be causing this? Thanks in advance.

I know earwigs love them @colinmorris57, so it's most likely to be that. Little b*****s

Leaf cutter bees don't cut flowers - just foliage.
