In this thread, let's discuss insects that are obnoxious or harmful to our plants, animals, home, or selves. Let's discuss possible treatments for getting rid of these "pests". Let's also discuss the possibilties of living with these "pests". I know that many of you allow caterpillars to feed on your plants so that they can morph into butterflies which are very beneficial to the blooms that we all adore. I never even considered allowing something to eat my plants until I was educated by DGer's. Many of us use an organic regimen when gardening, and one of the keys to organic gardening is to not harm the life in the soil. We can learn from each other how best to deal with these insects..........TEXAS STYLE!!
