Garden Watch: Help Us Track Pests in the Community
We want to hear from you — what pests are you spotting in your garden right now?
Sharing what you’re seeing helps our whole growing community stay informed and prepared. If you’ve got a mystery pest or plant damage you’re unsure about, send it in! Some bugs might be predatory bugs to eat your pests so don’t be in a hurry and submit it to us for a quick review.
This is a ladybug larvae! It’s a keeper!!
📸 Here’s how to share your garden pest photos with us:
- Get close! If possible, use a magnifying glass or magnifier clip for your phone camera.
- Hold your phone directly over the glass to take a clear, enlarged photo of the pest or the damage.
- Take a few shots: one close-up and one showing the surrounding area.
- Describe the issue:
- What plant is affected?
- What kind of damage are you seeing?
- Why do you suspect a particular pest?
- Have you tried anything to manage it?
