Garden bugs

Garden bugs - this is the collective name that refers to all those who live in gardens bug bugs. Representatives, as they are also called, of garden bugs are divided into several dozen species, differing in color and body shape. Below you can see what a garden bug looks like in the photo.

For the most part, garden bugs prefer to live in areas planted with cultivated plants. Some types of insects are useful for humans, being exterminators of pests. Others, on the contrary, are capable of causing tremendous damage to the owners of gardens and vegetable gardens, eating the juices of plants and fruits. As a result, brown spots form on the leaves, which become larger with time. The consequence of attacks by garden pests is the slow growth of plants, and even their death.

Insect pests

In nature, there are a large number of harmful garden bugs. Conventionally, they can be divided into two groups:

• country bugs - parasitic only on fruit and berry plants;
• plant pests - they feed on the foliage of wild plants and can easily switch to garden crops.

Green Forest Shield

Forest bugs many summer residents call green garden bugs. The size of an adult reaches a length of up to 1.5 cm. The body is bright green in color and has slightly noticeable notches along the edges. Forest bug bugs breed in feeding places so that the larvae hatching from the eggs do not have to look for food for a long time. The female lays about a hundred eggs, attaching them very tightly to the stems of plants. After 1.5 weeks, larvae emerge from them, which turn into adults within 30 days.

Green bugs live on trees. Wild and parkland are the main source of nutrition. However, very often with such garden bugs can be found in the garden and garden. First of all, the pest attacks raspberry bushes, there can also be bedbugs on currants. Do not disdain the shield bug and herbaceous plants.

Eurydem North

The garden cruciferous bug or northern eurydem is one of the most dangerous pests, whose body size does not exceed 8 mm. Its bright coloring and beautiful pattern on the back are very reminiscent of appearance bug soldier, but the size of the harm they cause is much more tangible. The mustache of the insect is covered with short hairs. Massively cruciferous fleas increase their population in hot weather, as a result of which they can destroy the planted cabbage or other seedlings in just a few days.

Berry shield

This garden bug is known to many as a shield bug stinky. The insect has a bright burgundy color. One of its distinguishing features is bad smell, which is allocated to them upon contact.The female is able to lay up to 400 eggs with a hard coating and yellowish hairs. The pest goes through 5 stages of development. And after the first two, its black body acquires a burgundy color, and the abdomen becomes yellow. Winter berry shield spends in an imago stage, and wakes up only in the middle of spring.

On a note!

Garden berry bugs inhabit mainly bushes. Bed bugs on raspberries or gooseberries eat not only the leaves of plants, but also the berries themselves, making them unsuitable for food.

Cucumber bug

One of the smallest insects of this family, whose black body does not exceed 3 mm. However, this does not prevent him from jumping well. A garden pest cannot always be noticed, since it settles mainly on the underside of a leaf plate. The plant parasite lays eggs in the second half of summer, remaining wintering in this form. The larvae that appeared in May settle on the lower part of the leaf. A garden bug can infect entire greenhouses by eating seedlings of cucumbers, sweet peppers, eggplant and tomatoes.

Pear Lace

Many are surprised by the appearance of this garden pest. The nondescript body of beige shades has lace edges, the pattern of which repeats the pattern of the back. An individual develops according to an incomplete type. Insects are very prolific - the female can lay up to 400 eggs. It will take about 4 weeks to turn the larvae into an adult.

Small populations of the outburst were found only in the Krasnodar Territory.

Picromerus

This kind of protection of gardens makes it possible to abandon the use of insecticides. In our country, picromeruses have taken root only in its European part.
