Earwigs will eat flowers, leaves & stems from my experience with them.
Can't remember if they have antennae, but the rear end of them has pincers,
almost like crab claws. They are brown/black, long & narrow, about 1/2"
long, squirmy. They like to hide in flower blooms and other crevices. You
can kill them on site and use insecticide. Good luck!

Shield bugs don't have antennae that split at the ends, but flower
beetles
(a type of scarab beetle) do.

I'll buy that. I can't seem to find much info on them... do they eat
flowers? Or do they eat other insects or what? I.e., should I kill them
on sight?

BTW, the antennae look like this (x2):
