🔍How to Tell the Difference: Pest vs. Beneficial
|
Beneficial Insect Eggs
|
Harmful Pest Signs
|
|---|---|
|
Neat clusters on leaf undersides
|
Irregular holes, webbing, or slimy trails
|
|
Found near aphids or mites
|
Found with wilting, yellowing, or distorted growth
|
|
No damage to leaf tissue
|
Leaf skeletonizing, chewed edges, or stippling
|
💡 Tip: If you see these egg clusters, leave them alone! Avoid spraying—even organic insecticides like neem oil can kill beneficial insects.
