Jeffords, M.R., S.L. Post, R.N. Wiedenmann, and C.S. Sadof. The good guys! Natural enemies of insects. 1997.
Not all the critters in your garden and yard are bad guys. Our newest creation helps you tell the difference between garden insect pests and beneficial insect enemies that actually eat the pests. Now when you encounter the good guys, you'll keep them alive so they can help keep the bad guys at bay without the use of toxic chemicals.
Our easy-to-use guide of natural enemies of insect pests consists of 31 plastic laminated cards (about the size of baseball cards) that withstand dirt and moisture. They provide full-color photos of beneficial natural enemies on the front side and a concise and accurate description of the organism's natural history on the reverse side. The cards are held together with a fastener so you can bring the entire set to the garden to page through as needed and identify those previously unknown friends.
