The first meeting of our new garden year was yesterday and was a huge success. The presentation was on “Insect Pests and Beneficial Insects in the Garden" was presented by Mack Lessig, UF/IFAS Extension. We learned about basic entomology, signs and diagnostic features of pest insects, how to identify beneficial insects, and some management strategies for garden pests. Mr. Lessig was full of great information and gave a wonderful program! Did you know? Mealybugs in their crawler stage are so small, the wind can blow them through the screen into your lanai! [YIKES!]
Our next meeting, scheduled for October 12, may be a socially-distanced road trip! Look for our President's email on specifics.
