Have you seen the Third Edition of Grape Pest Management? What, you haven't? There are a surprising number of insect pests preying on vineyards in California. This book, put together by University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources, lists a whopping 56. Here are ten that I chose because they had the coolest sounding names. Though there's nothing cool about bugs that threaten agricultural production.
European Earwig
Brown Marmorated Stink Bug
False Cinch Bug
Virginia Creeper Leafhopper
Lead Cable Borer
Little Bear Beetle
Citrus Peelminer
Orange Tortrix
Omnivorous Leafroller
Western Grapeleaf Skeletonizer
