Squeezing in this California Lady Beetle (Coccinella californica) we met last week near the coast, for #InsectThursday. Such a cute, speedy little thing!💚

Kinda gross but also fascinating. Braconid wasps lay their eggs inside caterpillars, which then eat their host. 🌱🐛
Super beneficial if you have a tomato hornworm problem.
Plant tomatoes next to yellow spotted bee balm or boneset to attract braconids (1/2)

Inside dry stalks you are bagging up, your army is sleeping. Hundreds of insects that will pollinate and fight pests in May.
