My friends in Colorado have a ton of green lacewings in their house, they're innocuous and don't really bug people, hovering around lights at night. Glad to know they're voracious pest predators.

I didn’t get any bees when my pear tree came into bloom and I had no pears😭save the bees.
@DiscoChixify

You can look into edible flowers. If you plant edible flowers they will help attract pollinators for your pear tree as well as providing food for the bees while the pear tree is not in bloom, and you can harvest some yourself to add a little extra flavor/texture/color/filler to your diet. Some roses taste like starchy sweet apples & add well to an apple walnut salad. Chamomile is a prolific grower & pairs well made as a tea then mixed with apple juice and ice on a hot summer day. Sunflowers purify your garden soil & you can leave them for birds or harvest & eat the seeds yourself. Hibiscus has an earthy flavor and can be candied. Added to red wine with fruit it makes a great after dinner drink.

what do u think about hydroponics. Is there a way to do it sustainably as in reuse the nutrients? Also, can it save gardeners/farmers the trouble of having to manage pests and stuff
Saw a green lacewing in my garden a few days ago. I also have a shovel nose snake and lots of spiders that Love to live on my patio… my roomate hates them, but I keep reminding her that they eat all the other bugs… and I have to remind her that the snake is our friend too
I love🐝
What would be ideal conditions in a garden to attract these by any chance?? Also what could i do to protect bees?? I see some come every now and again to some of my lavenders but how could i make it more ideal to suit them? Thanks for reading this!

thanks for sharing, im currently doing a study project about sustainability, may i ask some questions regarding some technical issue? can i pm it? thanks
Do you think it’s possible for a green lacewing to go inside someone’s house I’m sure I had one of them in my bedroom as a kid
2:04 I never knew they were beneficial. Compared to all the flies that gets trapped between the screen of the window, these actually managed to properly enter the window and go back out again without crawling. They literally hovered their way through, unlike the other bugs that gets trapped. Their behavior of flapping their wings when they land on something is intimidating, they almost seem to be mimicking wasps.
you forgot mantises. and earthworms rank up with bees in importance to the ecosystem.

I've have alot of ants on my redcurrant plant are these a good or bad thing? If bad how do I get rid of them?
is there benefits of millipedes to our garden? ive got so many after few rainy days here in Toronto 🇨🇦. Should I keep or kill them??
Yeah black beetle grub is super beneficial lol
great list, but not a single one of them is a recycler or a decomposer. They may not be as glamorous as a pollinator, as valiant as a predator, or as stealthy as a parasitoid, but they are just as important in the garden, especially in returning the nutrients back to the soil and in ridding of biodegradable garbage. I would add black soldier flies in the upper list ( many homesteads use them to reduce garbage in their homes and gardens while supplying free fertilizer and animal feed. Also discourages other harmful houseflies since they compete for same resources), and dung beetle (although this may be rare in gardens).
Two small lizards live in my tomato plants. Is that okay for them? From what I know they're carnivores and simply eat insects.
Why do I have ants on my Bay tree. What should zi do? The trunk is crawling with them. How do I get rid of them? TIA.
Pls let us know how to invite these beneficial insects.
We have Black Widows and Brown recluse's here. Poisonous- so I'm going to disagree with spiders :):)~ WOAHHHH Damsel bug!

Project Diaries worked amazingly for my apple, lemon, jacaranda and mandarin seedlings, but have absolutely no idea why it worked so well. Only way I found out was cause I transplanted my seedling into lite milk containers and they grew extremely quickly over night and ever since then I water them with about half a cup of milk to every litre of water I use. you should test it for yourself.

Are Mason bees,carpenter bees, leaf Cutter Bees, Bumble bees, blue Ochard bees and so fourth. Honey bees were demesticated in Aisa. Australia has sting less honey bees. South America has honey pot bees. Those are honey producing bees native to other places. Bees were brought into my country the USA because the settlers like the honey and bees wax.
