Issue 8:1 THE CACTUS PATCH January 2005



Insects on Cacti and Succulents

How to recognize and control damaging pests
presented by Mickey McGuire

There are more than 800,000 species of insects yet only a few cause damage. This month's presentation will focus on a few common insect pests that may be affecting your collection and ways to control the pests. Feel free to bring plants that have insects but be sure to keep them separate at the meeting from auction plants and plants that others bring. I will bring some tools to look at the pests and perhaps offer some suggestions for cleaning them up.
