What Bugs Are Eating My Summer Squash?

My summer squash seemed to not be growing very quickly, but it was producing a ton of small blooms. I decided to go ahead and cut some of the smaller ones off. When I got a closer look some bugs appeared to have been eating them from the inside out. I also noticed some holes eaten at the bottom of the vines. From what I can tell them are borer worms. I wanted to see if anyone could confirm by looking at some pictures?
