Good Bug Bad Bug, updated 2nd edition, is an indispensable field
guide for quickly and easily identifying the most common invasive and
beneficial insects in the garden; plus the best organic advice on how to
attract the good guys and manage the bad guys - without reaching for the
toxic chemicals. Includes strategies for dealing with the "new bugs in
town," those worrisome strangers that are starting to show up due to
climate change (and some that have just flown in from abroad). Forty-one
bugs, presented in full color on laminated card stock, with concealed
wire binding. Sturdy enough to take into the garden for easy reference.
An attractive gift book for adults and curious kids alike. The 2nd
edition contains a number of color photographs not seen in the 1st
edition and presents three new "bad bugs" to add to the rogues gallery
of insect pests.
Additional "bad bugs" to be found in the 2nd edition:
The Grasshopper- which causes significant damage to the gardens of
North America and can fly for miles.
The Lygus Bug - another significant North American pest, doing great
damage to fruits, berries, vegetables and flowers; especially prolific
in the South.
The Brown Marmoratted Stink Bug - a recent arrival from Asia that
feeds on fruits, vegetables, berries and flowers, and has a nasty habit
of invading our homes.
