Ladybugs may be small, but don't underestimate their power!

These tiny insects are your garden's secret superheroes, feeding on harmful pests like aphids and mites that can damage your plants.

And the best part? They're completely natural pest control! Instead of relying on harmful chemicals, let these little heroes do the work for you.

Plus, they're so cute! I mean, who wouldn't want a ladybug crawling on their hand like me?

Pill bugs are land-dwelling crustaceans that breathe through gills like their water-dwelling cousins. They must stay moist, so I often find them underneath boxes and buckets. One study found as many as 10,000 individuals living in a square meter. Originating in Europe, these roly polies are naturalized in North America and are an important part of the soil ecosystem - breaking down woody plant material so we don't live amongst every fallen tree that ever was. #rolypolies #pillbugs #armadillidiumvulgare #beneficialbugs #leichtlunch (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)

Good morning little spider. Sorry I got you wet when watering. You go on and do your thing and keep my plants pest free. This little crab spider is just chilling on my feverfew doing what spiders do best. I love seeing these and jumping spiders in the garden. #garden #herbs #naturalmedicine #spider #bugs #beneficialbugs #gardening #summer #spring https://www.instagram.com/p/CAqDC_tgII2/?igshid=1kpucwo1e00lb

Hoverflies: The Tiny Heroes of Your Garden

Did you know that hoverflies can be your garden's secret weapon against pests?

These small but mighty insects not only help to pollinate your plants, but their larvae are also natural predators of aphids and other harmful insects.

By welcoming hoverflies into your garden, you can reduce your reliance on chemical pesticides and create a healthier, more sustainable environment for your plants. Plus, watching these little hoverers in action can be quite mesmerizing!

So next time you see a hoverfly buzzing around your flowers, give them a little nod of appreciation. They may be tiny, but they're definitely heroes in your garden.

These nine videos/pictures were taken yesterday. One is the girls, the others are my garden section of #sweetpotato plants and #soybean plants, and a volunteer tomato as yet unknown variety. I thought about spraying with #neemoil but want to ID first, that's why I was taking shots of bugs on soybean plant for ID. I had problems with internet last night and couldn't do much but I was able to figure out these aren't #kudzu #bug so I'm on search today to #IDbug because if it's a #beneficialbug I don't want to spray. https://www.instagram.com/p/CDq7oqxpTRj/?igshid=1e4ioz0ovo3ur
