Aphids: These tiny insects suck the sap from plants and take away the growing tips of plants.
Japanese Beetles: These beetles are very destructive to green leafy plants. They feed on many types of annuals, perennials and shrubs, taking big bites out of the leaf and leaving behind the veins of the leaves.
