Nursery Insects

Aphids are small insects that feed on plant sap and are commonly found on buds and new growth. Ladybugs, caterpillars, and grasshoppers are not typically associated with buds and new growth in the same way that aphids are.

Bagworms are caterpillars that create protective cases out of silk and camouflaging materials such as leaves, twigs, and bark. They are commonly found in trees and shrubs.

Borers are insect larvae that tunnel into and feed on tree bark and wood causing damage, resulting in holes in branches/trunk. Their long-antennae are a distinctive feature.

Leafhoppers are known for their vibrant colors and unique wing structure where the wings form a tent-like shape over their body. Monarch butterflies, dragonflies, and ladybugs do not typically exhibit this characteristic.

Leaf miner insects create visible trails or tunnels on the surface of leaves as they feed on the leaf tissue. Caterpillars, spider mites, and aphids do not typically leave such distinct trails on leaves.

Scale insects are small, hard insects that appear as hard, shell-like bumps on plant leaves and stems. While aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites are also common pests that can be found on plants, they have different characteristics compared to scale insects.

Spider mites are arachnids that commonly infest plants and can be identified by the described symptoms. Aphids, whiteflies, and thrips are other common plant pests, but do not typically leave behind webs and are known for different feeding patterns.

The correct answer is Snail/Slug because they are known for leaving slime trails behind them and for chomping on edges of leaves or plants.

Whitefly is the correct answer as it matches the description provided. Fruit fly, House fly, and Mosquito are common types of flies but they do not match the specific characteristics described in the question.

White grubs are the larvae of various beetle species and can cause damage to lawns by feeding on grassroots. They are known for causing bald spots in the lawn. Armyworms, cutworms, and sod webworms are also lawn pests, but they do not exhibit the specific characteristics mentioned in the question.
