Chinch Bug Feed on plants belonging to the grass family; both wild and cultivated, such as wheat, rye, barley, oats, and corn.	Grub Worm The grubs mostly live underground or under debris, so are not exposed to sunlight.	Mites The majority of mite species are harmless to humans, but a few species of mites can colonize humans directly, act as vectors for disease transmission, or cause or contribute to allergenic diseases.
Mole Crickrt Mole crickets are omnivores, feeding on larvae, worms, roots, and grasses.	Plasterbag Worm Plaster bagworm larvae do not eat cotton fiber products, but woolen threads are eagerly consumed by the larvae.	Scale Many scale species are serious crop pests. The waxy covering of many species of scale insects protects them effectively from contact insecticides,
Slugs & Snails Land-dwelling species can chew up leaves, bark, fruit and some plants.	Sod Webworm Sod webworms were first recognized as a serious pest of lawns and golf courses.
