Ep.61 Intro to insect pests - Denis Crawford (author of Backyard Insects + Garden Pests, Diseases and Good Bugs)

Denis Crawford is a legendary Australian entomologist, and in this episode he was generous enough to walk us through some of the biggest offenders with regards to insect pests. We discuss sucking, chewing, boring, leaf-mining and gall-producing pests as well as Integrated Pest Management (IPM) and the importance of biodiversity. It's a great chat, give it a listen!
