That egg-citing time Green Lacewing eggs appeared on our lavender! A beneficial predatory insect that voraciously consumes pests like aphids, thrips, whiteflies, and spider mites.
While you can always purchase them, it’s even better when they show up on their own!

Love fennel in the garden. Its flat, umbrella like flowers are highly attractive to #pollinators & other beneficial insects, including flies & wasps, who are not just brilliant #pollinators themselves, but also aid #pestcontrol & #composting.

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

New #PreyingMantid hatchlings! Couldn't be a worse day... it's probably too cold to release them, but they are hungry, thirsty, and I'm out of fruit flies! #Mantids #Garden #BeneficialInsects

Baby Mantids
I was harvesting strawberries this afternoon and spied a baby praying (preying) mantis.

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)
