Ninjas in the garden
In this video you will see lady bugs and praying mantis released into my garden. The adventure turned into a family celebration, as we watched them climb up each plant, looking for aphids, mites, caterpillars and such. These bugs of prey are referred to as Beneficial’s, and have names like assassin bugs. I am willing to try anything within reason to reduce my exposure to pesticides. When my garden was ravaged with leafhoppers, caterpillars, and flea beetles I prayed these beautiful little creatures could rescue my precious crops. So far so good, no spraying, has taken place. My garden has improved since the release of the Beneficial’s – AKA Assassin bugs.
