GLASSY-WINGED SHARPSHOOTER

A serious threat to California Agriculture

If you find specimens of insects or egg masses you suspect to be the glassy-winged sharpshooter, please contact your local UC Cooperative Extension office and/or your county agricultural commissioner. Please take them the specimens if possible, and note where and when they were collected and on which plants they were found.

Be a Mendocino County Sharpshooter!
