1 {flow than 25 major insect pests may attack the average home garden. These pests usually have three or four life stages. Therefore, it may amount to 75 or more insect forms that you might be dealing with in your garden. For example, the insects referred to as true bugs cause plant damage from the time the nymphs hatch from the eggs until death of the adult bugs. The beetles also cause damage both as larvae and adults. However, the damage may be in different areas of the plant. The cucumber beetles for example, feed on foliage of plants whereas their larvae feed on the underground parts of plants in the soil. The moths and butterflies do no plant damage as adults whereas the larval, or caterpillar stage, may be very destructive. If you cannot identify the insect pest causing your trouble, take it to your local couwflffien%n%r'& rpackage it so it will not get damaged in transit and mail to: Extension Entomology m 13 m 2309 Gardner Hall North Carolina State University Raleigh, North Carolina We WWW mum
