Insects of Interest
Crawly, squirmy, leggy, buggy friends and foes of our garden
Bugs
Many have six legs, but some have eight. Some have many more, and some don’t have any legs at all!
Praying mantis
They can be a rare surprise visitor to the garden, but are always worth the wait
Mason and solitary bees
No hive and no stingers, but these hard workers have a vital job to do.
Bugs Everywhere!
Every garden has its tiny visitors and residents. Some help our plants grow, while others compete to eat the foods before us. Others still are harmless and just passing through.
