Bugs such as ladybugs and praying mantis will eat bugs that damage crops or infuriate people with their pesky presence in homes!
With all these beneficial insects out there waiting for some love from you- who could resist?
These insects protect our gardens by eating harmful pests and pollinating certain plants.
This is why it’s important to distinguish between the bad ones, which will always be found in any garden; and a few good guys who are just trying their best for us!
Ladybugs
You’ve likely seen ladybugs around your house, in the garden or near a plant that needs help. Lady bugs are one of many beneficial insects you can find and their natural predators include aphids which can really take over when left unchecked.
These helpful little creatures feed on anything from plants to termites without hesitation so it is possible for them eat 50 per day! Fun fact: ladybugs can eat up to 5 000 aphids in their lifetime! Mind-blowing, huh?
Hoverflies
The world’s smallest insect, the hoverfly is a useful part of nature.
As an important pollinator for carrots and other fruit trees it should be appreciated!
Green Lacewings
The green lacewings are a beneficial insect that protect our crops from pests and also keep predators at bay.
They eat around 200 aphids per week, but will hunt for other soft-bodied insects such as mealybugs or whiteflies if needed!
Ground Beetles
Ground beetles are one of the most effective natural pest controllers we have, and they help keep our gardens weed-free.
These ground dwelling insects feed on a variety of insect pests including aphids, caterpillars and slug like creatures that would otherwise victimize your plants or garden’s soil life cycle in droves!
You can also count on them as an herbicide if you want less unwanted vegetation growing near your home.
Parasitic Wasps
Though these wasps might seem scary at first, don’t be fooled by their name.
They’re actually tiny and non-stinging insects that are considered to be the best when it comes to pest control in gardens!
These parasitizing pests can remove over 200 species from your garden–making them versatile enough for any type of environment.
It’s important not only to remember this, but also to think carefully before you decide on getting harmful pesticides, because some bugs aren’t bad for our plants after all!
