Watch Out for Whiteflies on Poinsettias
Unfortunately, poinsettia gifts may come with an unwanted guest—whiteflies! These tiny insects, about 1/10 inch long, are covered with a white powdery substance, which gives them their name. Whiteflies lay their eggs on the undersides of leaves, where they also feed. In addition to poinsettias, they are especially attracted to other common indoor plants such as coleus, geranium, hibiscus, fuchsia, and begonia.

This season, let’s show some gratitude for reptiles! These remarkable, often underappreciated creatures play a crucial role in keeping our ecosystems in balance. From snakes that help manage rodent populations to turtles that keep our wetlands healthy, reptiles quietly contribute to a thriving natural world.
In Nebraska, we’re lucky to have a diverse array of reptiles that call our prairies, rivers, and woodlands home. Each of these species adds to the health and richness of our state’s wild spaces.
So, as you celebrate this season, let’s remember to give thanks for our scaly friends who work hard to keep nature in balance!
