If you are stung by a honey bee, remove the stinger by scraping it out with a straight-edge such as a knife or credit card. Do not squeeze it with your fingers or tweezers because this releases more venom into the wound. Nymphs and adults feed on weeds such as wild mustard, and may build up to high numbers in wet years in the spring. To prevent false chinch bugs from becoming pests, control all annual weeds around the home and in vacant lots. The adults are approximately two inches long, with large wings that fold over their backs.
Cicadas have chunky bodies and bulging eyes.
The adult cicadas emerge in the summer from odd-looking nymphs that are feeding on roots of trees and shrubs. The males produce a loud, shrill rasping noise to attract females. Cicadas are not thought to be serious pests, only a nuisance. Control measures are not considered to be effective or necessary. Springtails need high moisture in order to survive.
