Identifying Vegetable Insect Pests in Pennsylvania

Pest identification is the first step in following an Integrated Pest Management, or IPM program. The pictures and descriptions in this publication should help the home gardener identify common insects found in the garden and flower beds. For more complete information about the insects, their potential as pests, and how to prevent or control them, consult the ‘Pest Problem Solver’ section of the Pennsylvania IPM Web site (http://paipm.cas.psu.edu/1445.htm) or contact your county Extension  office. The phone number may be found in the Blue Pages of the phone book. Other information may be found at the Penn State Department
of Entomology’s Web site at http://www.ento.psu.edu/. To learn more about IPM, call 1-800-PENN IPM or visit our web site at http://
