Garden Symphylans

Scutigerella immaculata

Insect
Damage Signs

Symphylans may damage sprouting seeds, seedlings before or after emergence, or older plants. They feed primarily on root hairs and rootlets, and their ability to injure the crop decreases as plants get larger. However, their pitting of older roots may provide entryways for pathogens.
