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)

Ladybugs are nature’s tiny heroes! 🐞 Each one can devour up to 5,000 pests, and their colors and spots vary with the species. Show some love for these beautiful beneficial insects! #bloomscroll #beneficialinsects

Getting a jump on #InsectThursday because I just saw this yellow argiope at our community garden. Pest control guy is hard at work prepping lunch. Wish I could post the video here #arachnids #spider #gardening #beneficialinsects

Feather-legged Fly (Trichopoda lanipes) A beneficial fly for gardeners. These guys use insects as hosts for their young such as Stink, Leaf-footed, or Squash Bugs. They visit flowers for nectar. A member of the Tachinidae family. #trichopodalanipes #bugsky

Just spotted a lacewing larva slurping up some aphids an apple branch tip. Like ladybugs, the larva are the real aphid eaters #beneficialinsects #lacewing #ladybugs #organic #gardening

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