Good to know green lacewings are out and about in the #garden in early March, ready to eat aphids once they appear.

Today in @generousgarden a wolf spider. That white ball is her egg sac, carried and protected until her babies hatch. She is an active hunter of #garden pests, common if you use #covercrops, #compost, and living borders.

#InsectThursday in the #generousgarden features this ground #beetle. Picture Insect places it in the genus Platynus, but with 34,000 species in this family (per BugGuide), I am not sure. Happy to have them patrolling the #garden and #compost.
