Pest

A few garden pest that I encountered during my internship.

  1. Leaf-footed bug(Family Coreidae)Leaf-footed bugs are primarily plant-feeding insects. Depending on the species and the location, these bugs attack seeds, fruits, vegetable crops, sorghum and ornamental plants
    Leaf-footed bug nymphs.

  2. Leaf Miner( Family Agromyzidae): A leaf miner is the larva of an insect that lives in and eats the leaf tissue of plants. The vast majority of leaf-mining insects are moths, sawflies and flies.  

  3. Aphids( Family Aphididae): Aphids are soft, pear-shaped, and very tiny and are small sap-sucking insects with two short tubes project backward from the tip of their abdomen.  Aphids may be green, pink, yellowish, black, or powdery gray.
