Lacewings also feed on nectar as
aphid honeydew.
Gardeners can reduce injury
to beneficial insects by (1) avoid
ing the use of insecticides (2) by
selectively using insecticides
that are less harmful to benefi
cial insects and (3) planting a
variety of vegetable crops.
Practicing all three things cre
ates a more favorable habitat for
beneficial insects to remain in
the garden permanently.
Moisture and an adequate pest
population helps too
Green lacewings are general
ists but have a particular liking
to aphids. You'll find these pale
green insects on sweet corn,
potato, cole crops, tomato, pep
pers, eggplant, asparagus, and
leafy greens. Developing

Lady Beetles feed on aphids
and other insects on potatoes,
peas, sweet corn, cole crops, and
tomato. Over 450 species are
found in North America. The
convergent lady beetle is one
quarter inch long with orange
wings covers and six small spots
on each wing. The number of
spots can vary. Some adults
have no spots on their wing cov
ers
Lady beetle larvae are dark,
alligator-like insects with three
pair of prominent legs. They are
easily mistaken for a pest on
vegetables. Releasing large
numbers may minimize aphid
damage on crops. Handle the
beetles carefully and distribute
them at the base of the plant
