(Maybe someday phone cameras will focus on what you want them to.)

Inside dry stalks you are bagging up, your army is sleeping. Hundreds of insects that will pollinate and fight pests in May.

Now I'm the pest as I try to not cut them in half or knock off too many off whilst pruning, they're everywhere! Which is a very good problem to have. 🙂

Ladybugs are nature’s tiny heroes! 🐞 Each one can devour up to 5,000 pests, and their colors and spots vary with the species. Show some love for these beautiful beneficial insects! #bloomscroll #beneficialinsects

Lady bug on a marigold

Sunday: playing catch-up for ten years 😣 A little progress on the Beneficial insects series… #relief #engraving #book #art #printmaking #beneficialinsects #robberfly

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 lacewing larva on an apple leaf

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

Young praying mantis

Love to see a #PrayingMantis in my garden. Only a young one, but I hope it brought all its friends. #critters #BeneficialInsects

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.

Lady bugs getting busy on a peach branch

A small shrub with two different types of branches on the same stem. Light green stem grafted on the left is shipova pear, the other branches on the right are black chokeberry

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
