| Abstract/Contents: | Discusses the possible benefits of big-eyed bugs, describes them, and discusses their life cycle and other biological information. States that only about 750 of the 2,300,000+ known insects are considered pests and a far greater number than that are highly beneficial parasites and predators of potential and actual pests. Reports that pesticide applications merely treat those pests that escape from their natural enemies- a minute fraction. One of the most important groups of beneficial turfgrass insects is the big-eyed bug. These insects often suffer the mistaken wrath of lawn specialists and homeowners who take them for chinch bugs and spray them. States that big-eyed bugs eat many kinds of pests and are often the most abundant insects in a lawn. Big-eyed bugs look similar to chinch bugs but have had well developed eyes that protrude to the side and make their head appear short and broad. |
