A Six-spotted Tiger Beetle (Cicindela sexguttata) caught and devoured an ant before dashing off. Harmless to humans, they help control other insects naturally. Adults are fast, active hunters, while larvae ambush prey from hidden burrows.

A bright orange assassin bug! These little predators play a key role in garden pest control, but be careful—they can deliver a painful bite if mishandled.

Ladybugs making more ladybugs to protect the peach trees. Shipova pear grafted onto aronia starting to take off - using black chokeberry as a rootstock dwarfs the shipova and leads to fruit production years earlier than a full size tree. #fruit #permaculture #grafting #gardening #beneficialinsects

Was reading a book about #BeneficialInsects when this parasitic wasp landed beside me. Later bumped one of those little clay jugs potter wasps build while moving a board and was treated to a very macabre scene. Good to know my garden will be well-guarded.
A yellow-striped black wasp, maybe Eudynerus megaera, holding an inch worm. Two green caterpillars and two blackened and withered ones lying among the shards of a broken potter wasp’s mud pot. All were writhing a hit but partially paralyzed. Grim.
