Building Pest Database/Info | Plant Pests | Forum

Open request to all fellow gardeners.

I was thinking of writing series of posts on pest identification and their control. This is something that's been in my todo list and never saw daylight. Partly because of lack resources availability(time, and ofcourse variety of insects ;).
Now I have an idea.  Crowdsourcing!.

All of us are from different areas, weather and geographic conditions and needless to say we all battle with bugs ( both in gardening and in software )

My request to you all here is to take a picture of the bugs you find in your garden and send it to me. Ensure you get a good closeup of them, close enough to help us identify what it is. Once we have a pool of images, I will put up a page on bugs. This will help newbies to quickly identify what is bothering their plants and be able to control them.

admin@geekgardener.in is the email you want to send those bugs across :)
What say?

Hi,

I agree with you and it is probably the easiest way to do. But in the past, I have had some copyright issues with images from other websites. So I tend to be very cautious when it comes to content from other websites.

Yeah we can just post the control information ( which is kinda already spread across comments) and provide a link to google search.
