Garden Beneficial Insects

One of the most frustrating gardening problems are the pests that chomp at our bounty!  Paradoxically, the best way to ensure that garden pests are kept under control is by creating a garden full of all sorts of bugs.  Some of those bugs are pests dining on your plants, but many of those bugs are dining on the plant eating bugs. 

Here is a list of beneficial insects to attract to your garden: Ladybug, Praying Mantis, Spined Soldier Bug, Trichogramma Wasp, and the Assassin bug.
