This field guide includes many of the more important pest and natural enemy species growers may observe in their orchards. Other insects in this guide are neither pests nor natural enemies but are often observed and stimulate curiosity. Other natural enemies, such as parasitic wasps, are important but because they are seldom seen, are not included in this guide. Proper identification of an insect or mite as a pest species or beneficial insect is important in making a management decision. Many species of insects and mites are beneficial and help keep pest numbers below damaging levels.
