Lacewing adults and immatures are predators of insect and mite eggs and soft-bodied insects. Parasitoid wasps control pests by laying eggs inside the egg.

Insect/Plant Diagnosis
Producing New Plants.  Petals- surround and protect the other parts of the flower  Stamens- The male part of a flower  Pollen grain- a small part that.
Pollination Process Pollination Pollination is very important. It leads to the creation of new seeds that grow into new plants But how does pollination.
Beneficial Insects By: Marcie Baldiviez Are all insects pests?  Not all insects are pests, in fact, many insects can be very beneficial to all of us!
 Petals are important for a plant because they are what attract bees, birds and insects to the plant that will help it  pollinate. Pollinate-when pollen.

Lacewing adults and immatures are predators of insect and mite eggs and soft-bodied insects. Parasitoid wasps control pests by laying eggs inside the egg or larva of a pest species. Minute pirate bugs devour insect and spider mite eggs. Ground beetles are generalist predators of many of the most destructive orchard pests. lacewings leatherwing beetles ladybird beetles ground beetles wasps praying mantis pirate bugs The Good Important orchard predators and parasitoids Orchard pests can often be managed by promoting natural enemies Photo: Jim Kalish Photo: Tim Murray Photo: E.

Bees can thrive when 3 basic needs are met: Adequate food Safe nesting sites Protection from pesticides Photos: Louise Lynch

From Flower to Fruit: The Pollination Cycle Without movement of pollen between flowers of different varieties, many apple trees would not produce fruit or seed. An apple tree blossoms in the spring. Its flowers attract pollinators using color, scent and a sweet reward called nectar. Bees visit lots of the same kind of flowers looking for pollen and nectar for food. They are strong fliers with hairy bodies making it easy to transfer pollen from flower to flower. Bees are great pollinators! By late summer, apples will ripen for you to pick and enjoy! So the next time you eat an apple, thank a bee! Eventually the tree’s petals will drop and fruit will begin to develop from those that were pollinated.

Be the Bee! Think about it! What makes a good pollinator? Why does pollen stick to the body of pollinators? What insect body parts or structures make pollination possible?

Be the Bee! What makes a good pollinator? Think about it! Why is pollen sticky? What insect body parts make pollination possible?

According to a 2012 study from Cornell University, insect pollinators add an estimated in crop value to the U.S. farm income annually. $29 billion Scan the QR code or go to to learn more!
