Search
Search a pest, a symptom, or a crop.
Every answer points to the beneficial insect that controls it. If you cannot name what you are looking at, answer four questions instead.
No direct matches
That sounds like a description, not a name — which is fine.
Colour and size alone match a dozen different insects, and half of them are harmless. Four questions about where the damage is and what it looks like will narrow it far better than a search box can.

Searching works better with
- A species name, if you have one — “whitefly”
- A symptom, not an insect — “white bugs on plants”
- A crop plus a symptom — “tomato sticky leaves”
- A product, to check compatibility — “spinosad”
