The following Pest Identification Guides are intended for a wide audience. These fact sheets were created to help growers and crop consultants in industry, private homeowners, Master Gardeners, and the general public identify common arthropod pests and the damage they inflict. Each field guide provides photos of the important life stages and crop damage associated with these arthropod pests. The text highlights the pests' key general morphology and biology, distribution, and natural enemies (parasitoids and predators). Students, faculty in academia, and Extension agents may also find these guides very useful tools.
