Please help me identify this bug! Creepy!?

Question

This is a pic of a tiny bug that is eating my pumpkin & squash vines. I have sprayed and sevin dusted but they just come back. Is this just a vine borer? I have searched pic's of them but I have not come across any that look like the bug I caught. Also, there are no larvae of any kind in the vine, just these little things. They run very fast with their "hind ends" pointing up. Please someone help me identify it!

Answer 1

for some reason I cant view your pictures but it sounds like a japanese beetle

Answer 2

It is an earwig. They are commonly found in gardens. They reach different sizes in different parts of the country. Earwigs also do not always have those pinchers on thier rearends.

Answer 3

Upload your pictures to photobucket, your current ones are unviewable. Sounds like a Japanese Beetle though.

Answer 4

I can't see your pics either, but it does not sound like a Japanese Beetle.
