Help! Can anyone identify this insect? It's about half an inch long. I thought slugs were eating the cabbage but when I went out last night these things were crawling all around. They were also on the flowers of a cucuzza vine. So far they have not damaged peppers, corn, tomato plants, honeydew or cantaloupe. Maybe I'm just lucky so far.

Sorry about the image quality. They kept wriggling away.

An image search says this a European earwig. Nasty creatures but there are organic insecticides available.
