We love ladybugs, don't ya know...
they eat bad bugs, so plants can grow.
Not all insects (and other critters) in the garden and landscape are bad guys. On these pages you can learn about some of the "bugs" and other garden visitors that you may want to attract, maintain or at least leave be, so they can do their jobs of helping to control the truly bad guys. Conservation of beneficials is an important component of pest control utilizing Integrated Pest Management (IPM) practices.
