Recently, I spotted an unknown bug on my potted lime tree. Good bug? Bad bug? I didn’t know if I should squish it between my fingers (bad bug) or let it be (good bug). I reached for my newly acquired Mac’s Field Guide Good Garden Bugs of California. (Bad bugs are on the flip side of the 7"x12" laminated card). Yes, it was a bad bug–a green leafhopper, so away with it. Purchase the guide on Amazon, about $5. (Cards for California, Pacific Northwest, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast).
