Beneficial insects aid coastal avocado & lemon production
Associates Insectary
from Santa Paula, California is a grower-owned cooperative that provides insects and pest control advisors to assist growers with integrated pest management strategies in the coastal systems. Insects are also shipped globally for similar IPM strategies.
Each year, in few unassuming buildings in Santa Paula, California, over 500 million beneficial insects are reared to beat back citrus mealybug infestations that threatened to wipe out the local citrus industry. The work that goes with these predators and tiny parasites has helped sustain commercial citrus in the region.

Jeopardy! contestant
Kelly Donohue rages on as his fellow participants on the show are convinced, against all evidence and common sense, that his three-fingered gesture last month was a white supremacist hand sign.
Hundreds of former
Jeopardy! contestants signed an open letter last month condemning the show for airing Donohue’s gesture. The contestants somehow convinced themselves that he flashed a sign from the Three Percenters, an alt-right extremist militia organization that has been connected to white supremacist movements.
The alternative option: Donohue was flashing the number “three,” to symbolize his third time winning
Jeopardy!, in the same way that he flashed one finger after his first win and two fingers after his second.
