UF/IFAS pest ID guide series.




As per Gene McAvoy, 5-County Veggie Agent with UF/IFAS:

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).
