I just wanted to post a quick followup because I saw some interesting information in another forum.

Apparently people have problems with earwigs eating their strawberries---so I'm guessing if they are on my lilies, they are munching on them. I took a closer look at a couple flowers and they have those insect eaten holes in them, and then one of the buds actually looks almost rotten. Like something took a big bite out of the side of it, and then it just dried up and died.

I got out my tomato and vegetable spray (With pyrethrins and insecticidal soap) and it doesn't list that it kills earwigs, but I did spray them. I think I have successfully killed the earwigs! But I am still wondering- could they have been the problem?? Only time will tell I suppose but if anyone else has had experience with this I would love to hear about it.

Thanks!

According to my sunset book, earwigs are beneficial insects. I may be prejudiced against them, but even if they are beneficial I really don't like them.
Rather than spraying, you can roll up a damp newspaper, and they will supposedly crawl in and hide and then you can throw out the earwig filled paper in a plastic sack each morning.
