There are dozens. One of the pests that has been getting a lot of press lately is the glassy-winged sharpshooter, which can spread a virus that blights grape vines. With Napa being such a big wine growing area, this could have a major impact.

Another that has caused intermittent panics for the last 20 years or so is the Mediterranean fruit fly, which can infect most types of tree fruit, such as apples and Pears.

Are insects scary?

No, they are certainly not because they help the earth a lot! They bio-degrade a lot of rubbish. Knowing what a swarm of crickets can do to crops, Mormon settlers in Utah (1848) were so afraid of an oncoming swarm of crickets that they honored the horde of California Seagulls that wiped out the crickets (in time to save the crops) by subsequently referring to the California Seagull as The Mormon Air Force. The California Seagull is now the Official State Bird of Utah for that very reason. So, to California Seagulls, insects are... delicious! See the link below for more information:
