Wings
Mouthparts
Explain the differences between the basic life cycles of insects
Some change only in size as they develop
Some change form slightly

slow and directed to reproductive parts (glower, fruit, seeds)
Maturity - little to no growth. Movement of water and nutrients slow
Lifecycle for Annuals

Examples of Perennials
Johnsongrass
Curly dock
Seven pest control Methods
Resistant varieties, Biological control, Cultural control, Mechanical-physical control, Sanitation,
