They will on occasion attack plants, particularly in greenhouses. There are a number of other insect orders that are not pests of the home garden, but may be found in yards. Fleas of the order Siphonaptera may live in yards where pets or livestock are found. The adults of some of the aquatic species may be found in yards where they are attracted to lights. Embioptera, or webspinners, are common insects drawn to lights at night.
Females are wingless and form webbed tunnels in the yard under stones or wood.
The males are sometimes mistaken for termites. This site was developed for the Arizona Cooperative Extension , College of Agriculture , The University of Arizona . The University of Arizona. All contents copyrighted. All rights reserved.
