Welcome to the Big Bug Hunt 2017 international research project newsletter! | ||||||||
When you’re on the hunt for bugs, the damage caused by pests is often
more obvious than the culprits themselves! Some bugs are expert at
playing hide and seek, whether it’s eggs hidden on the undersides of
leaves or slugs tucked out of reach in the bushes. Your job as a
keen-eyed gardener is to look for signs they are present.
Damage to plants takes many forms. Slugs chew distinctive gouges into foliage. Carrot rust flies create tunnels filled with rusty-brown castings. And leaf miners leave telltale meandering trails where they have been feeding. So play detective and let us know if you find any type of bug, or evidence of it, in your garden. Thank you for continuing to send us your reports. Each report takes us another step closer to a pest early warning system, so keep them coming. |
