BENEFICIAL and PEST INSECT
                       
                             IDENTIFICATION

                

 

To help you identify what friendly insects and pest insects look     

like, the following sites offer excellent photos of these insects.

I find the first two sites most helpful, but if you do not find what you are looking for, you can browse through the last two sites for
photos and more information.
 

http://vegipm.tamu.edu/INDEXBYNAME.html
Search for insects divided into groups listed under beneficial
insects, chewing insects, sucking insects and soil insects; with excellent photographs.
 

http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/ent/biocontrol/predators/predtoc.html
This is a good site with photos of beneficial insects, their scientific names, habitat, pests attacked, their life cycle and the commercial availability of each of the beneficial insects listed.
 

http://www.ipm.msu.edu/natural-enemies.htm
has good photo illustrations of natural enemies of insect pests.
