Corn earworms are ugly caterpillars that start chewing on corn stalks as soon as they pop out of the ground.  You can minimize the damage these bugs wreak by sprinkling ground lime on corn ears once the silk appears.

Harlequin bugs are smelly bugs that pierce the tissue of plants and suck the fluids.  Keeping your garden clear of debris and using crop covers is a preventative measure. If you find these bugs, spray with a soapy water solution.
For United States gardeners ... remember to fertilize your lawn around the summer holidays.  First on Memorial Day weekend to start the summer, again on Labor Day after the heat of the summer has passed, and finally near Halloween for a healthy lawn next spring.

Leafhoppers are 1/4 inch long pests that like to suck the juices right out leaves, buds,and stems.  You can keep these bugs away by planting petunias, geraniums and perennial grasses - they hate moisture and low light.
