It’s a Bug-Eat-Bug World.

Use a simple ecosystem story to show how growers can work with natural relationships instead of treating every insect as the enemy.

The shirt

Visual explainer + learning reward

Use the circular back graphic as a wearable diagram while specialists explain natural enemies. Give shirts to educators, customer advocates, and visitors who complete the booth’s food-web challenge.

Two small swag ideas

Hands-on ecosystem tools
1

Predator–pest spinner

A pocket-sized paper wheel that reveals an educational natural-enemy relationship as it turns. Add a reminder that crop and program context still matter.

2

Food-web coaster

A recycled-board coaster printed as a circular crop ecosystem. The reverse carries three scouting questions and a QR code to biological-control basics.

Booth activation

Three simple steps
  1. AttractInstall a magnetic food-web wall with plants, pests, beneficials, and environmental clues.
  2. EngageVisitors connect the pieces; staff use each choice to explain balance, specificity, and monitoring.
  3. ConvertCapture the visitor’s crop and challenge, then send a digital version of their completed ecosystem.

Follow-up: your crop ecosystem

Share the digital food-web graphic, a short introduction to biological pest control, and an offer to discuss where natural enemies may fit in the visitor’s IPM program.

Production note: have technical reviewers confirm every illustrated relationship and avoid oversimplifying program decisions.
