Common
Caterpillar Pest of Vegetables
This section is an identification key to common caterpillar pests
of vegetables. Caterpillars, the immature forms of butterflies and
moths, are common pests of vegetable crops. Caterpillars attack
plants throughout their development, and may attack almost any plant
part, including stems, leaves and fruit. Caterpillars come in many
sizes and colors. Identifications should be confirmed once an identification
has been made.

Grasshopper
Control Tips for Texas
Grasshoppers are occasional pests of ornamental landscapes. The
differential grasshopper (shown above) and four other species (red-legged,
migratory, two-striped, and Packard grasshoppers) cause most of
the damage seen by homeowners and urban residents in Texas.

Insects
in Vegetables
(B-1273)
The control of insects and mites which attack vegetables assumes
more impor tance than the control of those which attack most other
crops because even minor damage may either lower a vegetable crop's
value or render it unfit for sale. Commercial vegetable growers
should recognize the different insects in their various growth stages
in order to begin control measures before damage occurs.

Managing
Insect and Mite Pests in Vegetable Gardens
(B-1300)
Vegetable gardening can be an entertaining pastime and a source
of fresh produce that is difficult to surpass. Producing your own
vegetables adds to the enjoyment of consuming them and may be lucrative
compared to purchasing produce. However, producing your own vegetables
is sometimes challenging.

Guide for Controlling Insects on Commercial Vegetable Crops
(B-1305)
The commercial vegetable market has low tolerances for insect and
mite damage on edible foods. Such damage can reduce the yield and
quality of produce. Sometimes a crop is rejected at market because
of even small amounts of damage, cosmetic blemishes or the presence
of insect parts. Another reason to control insect pests is that
some of them are vectors of plant diseases, particularly viruses.
