Wrap-Up


Characteristics of Adults in the Insects Orders:

I would like you to reference the table titled "Characteristics of Adults in the Insects Orders." This table lists 31 different orders, which may vary by a few orders from other sources available to you depending upon the entomological reference you consult.

Note that important orders relating to the green industry or those we may find associated with turfgrass are highlighted in green. These are the ones that I wish to cover and would like you to become competent in diagnosing when you're managing healthy turfgrass and landscapes.
