Identification of pest please?

Am a novice gardener so forgive me if I should have been able to recognise this bug.
My Passion flower has just started to flower ( each morning it's the first thing I check) but I noticed this morning that the buds had been nibbled. So have just been out in the dark on my nightly slug watch and caught these little critters having a fantastic time on the aforementioned Passion flower.
Could I have an ID please from you knowledgeable gardeners and also how to treat?
Many thanks.

It’s an earwig!

I thought it may be. How do I get rid please?

Send them my way. My apple tree is covered in aphids & it says earwigs will eat them. I wish I’d known earlier.
