1. Colorado potato beetle - beetle, 10 mm long. The body of the insect glitters. It is usually brown, orange in color and has black stripes on the back. The Colorado potato beetle has developed wings, so it can fly long distances. These beetles eat the leaves of the bushes and cause their death.

2. A slug is a mollusk that looks like a snail, but without a shell. They move by crawling, leaving behind mucus. The slugs feed on the leaves of the bushes and spoil the fruit. There are a number of chemicals that are used to control them, but you can inspect the bushes, especially in wet places, and pick up with your hands if you find a pest.
3. Aphids are small beetles, green in color. This harmful insect drinks the sap of the plant. Aphids are the fastest growing pest. Against aphids, you can use a solution of wood ash and water (1 kg of ash per 5 liters of water). This solution is used for spraying.
4. The spider mite is a small, red beetle. Drinks plant juice. It got its name for its peculiarity - to leave behind a cobweb everywhere. Spider mites are afraid of water. It is recommended to spray them with a solution of soap and water (50 g of soap per 1 liter of water).
