Aphids
Spodoptera litura

light-colored markings. Depending on the
species, larvae vary in color from tan, green,
and almost black.
❑ 1-3 generations per growing season.
❑ Overwinter as pupae in the soil.

Larvae feed on leaves with chewing mouthparts,
causing skeletonized foliage, irregular holes,
shredded leaves, or defoliation.
Spodoptera litura
Altica corrusca
Flea beetle
They chew holes or
pits into leaves and cotyledons. On plants with
thinner leaves, adult feeding causes small, rounded
holes characteristically described as “shotholes”.
Altica corrusca
Carpohilus sp.
Sap beetle
Adults and larvae feed with chewing mouthparts on
fruits and vegetables. Adults feed on corn silk and
pollen, and chew on tassels. Sap beetles are
attracted to ripe, damage, or overripe fruits and
vegetables.
